Where shopping is just the start of the sensation.

A short car or tram ride from XQ7 will bring you to the sensational Trafford Centre. Far more than just a shopping mall, it's a world of entertainment and events, where retail therapy reaches new levels of diversity and excitement. From tea dances to fashion shows, book signings to music concerts, there's always something going on for visitors to be involved in.

The Trafford Centre contains 235 stores, 60 restaurants, the largest cinema in the UK, plus fantastic leisure facilities all under one stunning roof. Big name high street outlets and quirky specialist emporia bring a constantly changing selection as the visitor explores the retail areas, guaranteed to tempt even the most jaded shopper. Fancy taking in a film? Drop into the multi screen cinema – the first megaplex in the UK, showing everything from children's films to blockbusters, art house to classics. Giant screens, 4,130 luxuriously sculpted seats and over 100 performances a day ensure a truly eye-opening experience.

Situated at junctions 9 and 10 on the M60, The Trafford Centre has 10,000 free car parking spaces and a brand new exit road onto the M60. If arriving by Metrolink, a shuttle bus operates to the Stretford station every 15 minutes and the entire complex is open every day except Christmas Day and Easter Sunday. There's even a hotel, the Tulip Inn Trafford Centre, directly opposite offering style, comfort, value and great service for visitors who simply can't fit all the Trafford Centre's delights into just one day!
