Shops & Shopping Centres in Bolton
Bolton is one of the most popular shopping destinations in North West England. The town centre is pedestrianised and is home to many familiar high street stores. Many of these can be found in the Crompton Place Shopping Centre or the Market Place.
Since its opening in 1997 the Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park has been the shopping choice of many. Despite having more free parking for more than 3,000 cars, spaces can be difficult to find at weekends, especially when there is a match on at the Reebok Stadium.
Specialist independent shops do exist but their location is not immediately obvious to visitors to the town. One notable example is T Wright of Horwich, one of the best wine and spirit merchants in the region.
