My Mum and I tend to treat ourselves to a trip to the Trafford Centre a couple of times a year. We give ourselves a day to spend lots of hours shopping, grab some lunch in the big food court and then sometimes, depending on how we feel, see a film at the cinema there. There's a pretty huge selection... More

I love the Trafford Centre and it's a great shopping treat. There's so much to see and do, you can't go wrong. There is free parking but if you're travelling by train, it's a simple bus journey, if you head to Piccadilly Gardens and catch the 250 or the X50, it takes you straight there for around £3.80 return, which...

Visited here on my way to Liverpool. It had a great range of shops, for all purses and is all under cover. However, the eating areas, were very busy and had to stand to eat from one of the fast food areas. They do not seem to have utilised space so well, to accommodate as many table sand chairs. Food...

Trafford Centre has something for everyone. Has lots of shops, lots of great cafes. restaurants and fast food places. Something to suit every budget and taste. Also has a cinema and many other activities to keep the kids entertained. Great place to spend a rainy day. My tip though would be go for when it opens, as around lunch time... More

I have to be honest, I regularly visit the Trafford Centre, but never thought about reviewing it until a foreign colleague reminded me that this site is more aimed at people who do not know the local attractions. So here we are! The Trafford Centre has two main levels for its shopping malls and restaurant areas. There is a third... More

We have Birmingham and Solihull on our doorstep, but wanted to try something different. The Trafford Centre was superb - it had everything we needed, in a great location and with easy access from the motorway. We will be back. More

I was over in the Trafford Centre on a promoting Northern Ireland trip and we all found the Centre a very friendly environment to work in. The staff were friendly and always tried to help when needed, nothing was too much trouble. Can't wait to return. Thank you Manchester. Lots of places to eat and lots of variety, seating outside...
