Background

History

The Galleries shopping centre opened in 1974. Originally the area where Costa coffee is was all open plan without a roof, this to be added years later. The Galleries boasts the UKs first ever flagship “Savacentre” store, now Sainsbury’s. Since 2009, work at the centre has included erecting new entrances and improving the atrium. On 8 July 2016, a Changing Places accessible toilet was opened at the centre. In May 2021, eight electric vehicle charging points were installed near the McDonald's and Greggs car park entrances. In January 2022 the centre was purchased from M&G Real Estate by LCP.
