Enjoy Christmas shopping in Barrow this December. From independent local shops to high street names, there’s plenty of choice. Combined with a fantastic range of festive events taking place, it’s the perfect place to pick up your Christmas gifts this year.
Barrow’s indoor Market Hall is a must: it’s one of the largest indoor markets in Cumbria, and this December it will be open six days a week, as well as Sunday 18th. Packed with local stalls selling everything from food and drink to handmade gifts, it’s a great place to do your Christmas shopping. If you need them, the shop owners are always on hand to help, offering service with a smile – in true Cumbrian style!
On Friday 16th and Saturday 17th December, Barrow Market Hall will also host the man himself, with a free Santa’s Christmas Grotto adding to the festivities.
On the high street, you’ll find a brilliant variety of shops to choose from, including several high street names. Support local with a visit to one of Barrow’s many brilliant independents: there are speciality retailers selling everything from records and board games, to vintage clothing and homewares. Here, you’ll find personal service and a warm welcome, with staff happy to help you pick out the perfect present.
Once you’ve shopped ‘til you’ve dropped, it’s time to refuel in a local café or restaurant over a hot chocolate or delicious home-cooked lunch.
Barrow has all you need for Christmas shopping this year.
