Shopping in Gloucester
Shopping in Gloucester is not only fun and full of pleasant surprises,
but the city's main streets which are laid out in a cross structure are pedestrianised, making shopping both safe and
easy. The main streets are wide and airy and simply named Northgate, Eastgate, Southgate and Westgate streets.

Kings Walk, the Westgate Quarter and Gloucester Quays Designer Outlet make Shopping in Gloucester great fun. |

The usual high street stores are abundant but Gloucester also boasts a wide range of unique and fascinating specialist shops and boutiques, which are ideal for exploring and possibly finding something unexpected and different.
Gloucester has been very successful in retaining much of its market town atmosphere and the city's naturally advantageous position between Wales and the rest of England means that market trade is still important, more than 2,000 years since it first began. Located just off Eastgate Street are the modern and ever popular Kings Walk
and The Mall shopping centres. These centres are made livelier by the
presence of stalls, independent stands and increasingly popular
activity days, ideal for family days out.

Adjacent to East Gate Shopping is an all year round covered market
which, besides being a great place to pick up a bargain, also has
stalls selling traditional local produce such as the famous Gloucester
sausage. Situated a couple of miles north east of Gloucester you will
also find Over Farm Market - a great place for fresh fruit, vegetables and meat.
It's
well worth taking the few minutes to walk down Westgate Street and
along Berkeley Street to the Victorian Docks. The Docks area also has
its own specialist shopping centre with very individual shops.
