I was visiting my parents in Doncaster for the Weekend and we decided to visit the local Outlet…read moreshopping centre, It has all the usual Outlets from M&S to NEXT, It also has a Costa Coffee shop which gets really busy as this is the only Coffee shop based here, Its a pretty nice place to just stroll around and take a look in the many shops what it has to offer. There is also free parking.

This is a fantastic place to shop if its clothes you are after,theres not much choice if your…read morelooking for anything else,if you have children then the clarks shop is ideal,you still have the expertise of trained staff measuring and fitting their shoes,but the prices are usually at least half price and quite often you can pick up top of the range shoes for a fiver,sometimes there is not a lot to choose from in some sizes but usually there is plenty,it depends on the day. For adults there is loads of designer shops which all have top quality clothes for a fraction of the recommended retail price .its a pleasant place to shop,with a huge free car park I would definatly recomment anybody wanting kids shoes or clothes to try here first

Frenchgate Shopping Centre is a modern-day "Fawlty Tower's" and is one of the worst indoor shopping…read morecentres, I've seen serving a large town or city. The mall had a kind of sad atmosphere, many units were left empty or abandoned, with many of the store's that remain being small/poor stores, such as a Sainsbury's where I couldn't find anything which I needed. The security staff seemed unhelpful and lazy, they didn't care or stop children running around and playing ball games, shouting and screaming around the centre, it felt like a place for unruly troublesome thugs than a place to shop. The mobile signal in and around the centre is also non-existent, despite Doncaster having 5G, and my iPhone 12 Pro Max supporting this, I was barely able to access 3G! I also think it was frustrating that the majority of stores within the mall close at around 17:30, which is pretty early, even Sainsbury's shuts at 7 pm. There was some construction around the mall, which seemed unsafe and many lifts were not in working order. They did have a small number of eateries, but a lack of big brands in that regard, with Nando's and a pizza joint (such as Pizza Express) missing. 1* - A big letdown for the people of Doncaster, if you need a shopping centre in Doncaster, head to the train station outside the mall and head to Meadowhall, which is a twenty-minute journey.

The Frenchgate centre was revamped and massively extended a couple of years ago, and the difference…read moreis enormous. There's loads of parking (although it is a little on the pricey side), good access to the railway and bus station and loads of the usual High Street names. It can be a bit confusing to navigate around - I still get a bit confused as to which way I'm heading when I'm in there, and take careful note of where you've parked as if you go back up the wrong stairs you may never see your car again! There's not much of a foodcourt but right at the end of one of the sections there are several eateries - you need to be looking for it though, you won't just find it as you're passing as you'd expect in most shopping centres. Watch out for the loos - last time I tried to use them they wanted to charge for the priveledge! Not a chance!
