The Springs Shopping Centre is the main shopping centre in the town centre of Buxton in Derbyshire's Peak District.
The centre is fairly small but does have some decent brands including WHSmith, JD Sports, New Look, Next, Ryman, Vision Express and Specsavers. There is also a Waitrose Supermarket and Sacro Lounge from Loungers.
The car park is fairly easy to get in/out of when in a car, but I dislike how there isn't a pedestrian walkway to get to the main entrance, and it feels like you're having to dodge reversing cars, while I totally understand the need for disabled parking spots, their location seems to make it dangerous for pedestrians trying to access the mall so the car park could certainly be constructed to be better for pedestrians and disabled guests alike.
The opening hours are typical of what you'd expect from a small town in England, closing at 5:30 pm Monday to Saturday, I do find this to be quite disappointing and draconian. The Waitrose inside the mall does remain open a little later, but most of the mall is blocked off, so there is only one way in/out of the shopping centre via the car park entrance, so if you may have to walk the long way around the town to get to Waitrose in that period, rather than just cutting through.
2* - Pretty standard mall in the interior, not too pretty or different to anywhere else. read more
