BEWARE of parking in the area which has outrageous fines. Otherwise this was a worthwhile and wonderful stop. The shops are all lovely in this unique and historic shopping center

Really cool shopping centre focusing on independent stores, vibe inside is great. We visited towards the end of the day so a few stores were closed but overall very good. Shops included clothes, vinyls, plants, wine and cheese, local Yorkshire souvenirs etc so a good variety.

A beautifully restored Victorian building (opened in 1863, designed by Cuthbert Brodrick) originally used for grain trading, now home to independent shops and cafés. The striking domed interior is the main attraction — bright, spacious, and full of character. It’s a great quick stop in Leeds for unique boutiques, small makers, and a more creative, relaxed atmosphere than typical malls. Worth a visit even just to admire the architecture.
