Okay, so the best part about this huge complex is the vast collection of big named stores in such close proximity compared to pretty much any high street in the UK, in terms of choices it can not be beaten. If you are Christmas shopping you will find something for everyone here! Once your tired feet and aching wallet have had enough there are also many places to eat, ranging from the predictable but popular fast food outlets to rather nice restaurants and bars. Add to all these things the fact that this colossal venue houses a state of the art cinema complex and bowling alley you would think it would be impossible to fault! Unfortunately not. If you, like me are one of those people who get frustrated pushing a trolley around a supermarket whilst its busy, attempting to avoid the flood of people that apparently can not see that you are there whilst you fight to get from one isle to the next, you certainly will not enjoy the persistent hustle and bustle of thousands upon thousands of drone shoppers busily clambering around from one store to another as if their lives depended on it! In my opinion this is a great shopping venue for a short 1 hour dash to get something specific and grab a bite to eat,however myself, i would rather spend the day at the dentist than spend several hours in this claustrophobic shopping heaven, that being said, if you are an avid shopaholic who enjoys fighting the crowds with your hands full with shopping bags and elbows in your face then the Trafford Centre is the place for you!

Shopping at the Trafford Centre in Manchester (Trafford Park) means free parking, no coat, plenty of shops, good choice of restaurants and bars and even the ability to go bowling, visit the cinema or go on a mini fair kind of thing. I've been here plenty of times and apart from the part that some prices seem slightly higher here than elsewhere, it is a good shopping experience.
