Barton Square manchester

The new undercover extension to the Trafford Centre is well under way and I'm sure it will be amazing as long as there is a mix of home stores and clothing stores. At the moment it may fall foul as being an add on. The walk over is cold and makes you feel as if you're outside. Integration is the key here. Add artisan stalls to the walkway and add heaters then it won't feel like an afterthought.

Major alterations going on here. It should be an excellent improvement once completed. Plenty of parking already in situ. The tram system is also due to start soon which will be another brilliant asset to the shopping complex.

Looking good. Nice addition on its way now it's covered with new stores. Not sure when it'll be finished though.

Well worth a visit, lots to do but at the moment doing a refurbishment but can still get around.

Very much looking forward to what it will finally look like as I am very impressed with what it already looks like

It always seems like a good idea...then it's just too overwhelming especially in COVID times. No one sticks to the one way system, hardly a mask in the main walkways...then there's just the general too many shops so halfway through you get tired, try to have food then see the ques for every restaurant...my advice is go late in the day like about 5pm or the moment Trafford opens to avoid the hustle.

Such a beautiful place, the Christmas decorations are wonderful, if you are on a short budget ,you could take the children just to see the decorations, flying santa 🎅 on his sledge, many more the dolphins 🐬 spurting water from the water fountain. (A show stopper) you flip a coin in the fountain for good look. This is truly a magical place all year round.

It's definitely got great ideas and could be great, but it's still being built. Gutted they didn't have the Xmas Market stalls that they've had on previous black Fridays. Nice that it's got a roof now though

An array of designer, premium and high street shops. Something for everyone, food court has plenty of choice with a selection of fast foods and sit down restaurants. Only downside is it's a bit tricky trying to park.

Nice Christmas decorations. And pretty busy during weekend. However as usually Trafford centre is excellent for food, shopping and relaxing.
