The Rock Bury is the newer of Bury's shopping centres, despite being almost ten years old now, it…read moredoes feel modern overall and still has a good range of shops, it is an "outdoor" area so it might not be the best place to visit in the cold/rain, compared to Millgate Shopping Centre nearby which is indoors. They have a decent selection of brands here including Marks and Spencer, Primark, Superdry, Debenhams, Nando's, JD and a new Dunkin' Donuts (one of the few branches in the whole of the UK!) It's pretty easy to follow around, it could be better sheltered in parts especially for the more rainy days, which we get more than our fair share of in Manchester. 3* - There are much better shopping centres out there, but this certainly isn't bad for a small town. It is complemented by Millgate Shopping Centre nearby which has other stores.

The Rock, Bury or 'New Bury' as some call the Rock, is a large 300 million development…read more Pedestrianized with £70k flats towering above shops a plenty such as Debs, M&S, Next, Costa, Subway; Vue Cinema, AMF bowling, Nandos etc. Free car parking after 6 pm (multi-story). St. Johns Gardens are a nice place to sit if it is warm. And there is a right good 99p shop there too. Love the place. Tai food opposite the gardens. Heaps of bike racks used as extra ram-raid stoppers near the clubs.

Millgate Shopping Centre may no longer be Bury's main/flagship shopping centre, but giving credit…read morewhere credit is due, they have still carried on despite the new The Rock development and tried their best to still grow and improve, which is rather good for a small town, considering there3 is a lack of empty units around the mall, which is good to see. Brands here include Boots, Costa, CeX, EE, HMV, Waterstones, WHSmith and all of the UK's main mobile phone operators, and Bury Market is right outside. Parking is generally quite cheap, at a couple of pounds, it still could be better value for money right now and as of January 2021, the car park is closed until further notice but there are satisfactory public transport links nearby including via bus and Metrolink, the latter is, of course, quicker from Manchester compared to the 135 which takes twice as long. The staff around the mall seemed friendly and happy to help. 3* - Great for the people of Bury, not really worth a trip out for, but still a decent shopping centre for a small town, supported by The Rock nearby.

Mill Gate is in a good location, being in the middle of the market complex, it is generally busy,…read morehardly any premises up for rent, though not of the Trafford Centre size, the variety of shops is quite good, plus various pop ups, and one can access the indoor market without going outside in bad weather, which is useful, certainly a better set up than Bolton or Blackburn, since Bury parking is much better than Blackburn!

This market has everything you could ever want, I have never seen a market so big, they sell hot…read moreroast beef barms which are absolutely delicious it is worth going just for one of them. also black puddings are the nicest by far. the prices are so reasonable, so take plenty money as you will be tempted. Whatever you are looking for you will find it here at Bury market, the stalls sell everything from food, rugs, cushions habadashery, foam, pictures, bedding, clothes, shoes, handbags, I could go on and on. When you have made you way through all the stalls, there is an indoor market with even more stalls selling simple everyday items to the more hard to find goods. There are plenty of little cafes to have lunch at very reasonable prices. I know that people travel from far to go to this market it is one of the best ones in the country. The parking lot is across the road from Bury market but after you have parked you can go through the underground pathway to the market and do not have to cross the busy main road.

Bury Market. World famous, apparently. I'm somewhat doubtful about the world famous claims, though…read moreit is an excellent market. Whatever you might need, for household items, or food shopping its all here, and all at great prices. The various meat, cheese and bakery stalls are amazing. The quality of the food is always top notch, everything is so fresh as its coming straight to the market from the manufacturer or supplier. My main problem is that I always end up going home with a pile of chocolate and cakes because the prices seem too good to be true!! Then theres Black puddings! This is the home of the Black pudding and if you like them, theres nothing better than a freshly cooked one eaten outdoors with lashings of tomato ketchup. Theres a couple of stalls in the outdoor market selling them. The layout of the market is somewhat haphazard, but for a very occasional visitor like myself, its nice to just wonder around taking it all in. I'm sure there are parts I've missed though. The location of the market is very convenient for public transportation, being right next to Bury Interchange which houses a bus station and a Metrolink tram station.
