I simply loved this place because I'm an American tourist! This shopping center was so convenient and fun. I stayed in a hotel across the street, so this entire area was accessible from many entrances and most of the mall was covered. I thought the shops and people were very nice. read more

Never been to Leeds, one can only dream though! Hopes and dreams aside I've only ever heard good things of Leeds (though this was from the ex-wife so ey who knows ahah ah) and trinity looks appetizing to say the least. Alright going down the pub now to forget about my wife Rebecca. Peace out, Keith. read more

I'm on the cusp here. I hear what people are saying, but I just haven't found it to be a bad experience. It is some what of a mad labyrinth; pretty much every time I've been in I've gotten lost in the weird flow trying to find my way upto mythical floors that at first elude, but I've certainly not found it horrendous. In a perfect world I'd love to see more indies but then I haven't had a chance to properly explore! So far I've enjoyed some of the bigger brands (individual reviews to follow, naturally) and a handful of the eateries and mini spots. There's clearly much more for me to take a look at - not least the new Everyman - so expect a more detailed report soon! All in all, at the moment I'm glad we're rid of the city centre void, and hope that further adventuring doesn't disappoint. Let's hope it brings a new lease of life to Leeds, and more folks flocking in. A happy side effect should in the very least be that whilst navigating through people get a chance to find some of Leeds' hidden gems on the periphery... This will be updated soon! read more

I am really quite pleased with the lovely new shopping centre that has eventually opened in Leeds. It seems to have taken forever to be completed but am confident it was worth the wait. In my view the place is nicely designed and has a good mix of all the stores a girl needs and a generous sprinkling of some of the higher end "posh" stores. Quite a few of my favourite restaurants and some snazzy looking bars- must have an evening out there soon) Leeds is once again booming, exciting and really feels like it has regained it's sparkle and beating heart back.... read more

Ok, so Trinity has a couple of small issues. It's not easy to navigate, the escalator positioning is just plain daft, and it can get pretty chilly in the winter as it isn't an entirely indoor shopping centre. That aside, it does what it's supposed to do pretty well. It's fairly enormous with well over 100 stores, many of them without other branches in Leeds or even in nearby towns. This shows in the thousands of shoppers that wander through it over the weekends. If you don't like crowds I'd avoid this place during peak shopping hours and definitely over the run up to Christmas. However, if you can brave the crowds it's well worth a visit for those who love to shop. Check out the sculptures too. I love the way Trinity has had art incorporated into it's design. That horse in the centre is the Equus Altus, a packhorse carrying cloth, textiles being an industry that Leeds was traditionally famous for, and is by the Scottish Sculptor Andy Scott (his Kelpies sculpture in Falkirk are clearly of the same style and were completed at a similar time). The sculpture of the woman is the Briggate Minerva - Minerva being the goddess of weaving and culture. And you thought it was just about buying a new pair of jeans. My favourite part, though? The Trinity Kitchen. There are a few permanent eateries that you might expect in any city (Carluccio's, Yo! Sushi, Handmade Burger Co, etc) but the real fun comes from the less common places and the rotating food stands and bars. Don't be afraid to try something you haven't seen there before, rather, take your chance before it's gone. Download the Trinity app too, to earn points and rewards. read more

Trinity Leeds - Equus Altus sculpture by Andy Scott. - Shopping Centers Near Me - Leeds, XWY

The Trinity Leeds is the best shopping place in Leeds, after the White Rose. The layout of it is very modern, and has lots of the High Street Brands. However when it's windy or cold out, it can also become the same as it is outside. This place is a must for a day out shopping in Leeds!!! read more

See all

I'm not sure how long this centre has been in Leeds but the look of it is like it was just built and opened - spic 'n span! All the usual High Street outlets and familiar eateries are here and the layout is great, no people jammed up or getting all in my personal space. Y'all know how I am about that! Oh yes, the wind blows right through here because it is not enclosed like conventional shopping centres but this place really does look good. I'd come back! read more

I must review this place as I'm totally not a fan. Replacing some 'cornerstone' shops with a monstrosity of a unwanted Shopping complex which doesn't even offer shelter from the weather, not a genius idea I'd say. It's a glorified wind-tunnel or green house depending on the great British weather when you go in there. The place isn't fully opened and it will be even more gut-wrenching to see the further holes in our High street that it's caused when the likes of Primark relocate there. The money spent here would have been best used developing China-town or investing in the City sewage system which causes an issue every time it rains rather then yet another Shopping centre. It's too shiny (everything I touch in the place gives me electric shocks), there's no seating for disabled or the infirm and its badly laid out for toilets and stairways. There was no parking thought out for it either! Yes it has a lovely curved roof and yes, it brings all the high street shops mostly under one roof but sorry- wasn't that the purpose of the White Rose which is now sinking!!! Bad move Leeds sinking such a pot of cash into this place. How long before it ends up a long forgotten structure like the 'Merrion Centre'? read more

So £350 million was spent on this place and they couldn't even put on some doors!I think its a brilliant addition to Leeds but I don't understand why it is an outdoor mall? Its freezing! The best thing about a shopping centre is that you are inside away from the elements. Not in here. It is open so you are pretty much outside and if you walk too close to the barrier upstairs you will get rained on. I can't understand the logic behind this as this will definitely be a reason not to go. Who wants to have a meal with the risk if hyperthermia? Okay maybe slightly dramatic but I hate being cold. Away from the lack of heat the shops are not very well signed and the toilets are impossible to find. On the plus side the security guards are really helpful and know where everything is.  I have to mention the horse that I find highly random balanced high up on a pole. The sculpture is brilliant but with it being suspended in the air all you see when you walk in is a giant horses bum! Very odd. Not my favourite place, I prefer to shop in the rest of Leeds but invest in some doors or a few heaters and maybe I will have a rethink. read more

As we've only recently been to this place, it was more than we expected. It's bigger for a start and reminds me of Meadowhall. It has a lot of shops, smaller eateries and larger ones that cater to people who love the inside dining experience. There is a lot to like about Trinity, Leeds, one of them being that it has a Wagamama* there, which is one of our fave Japanese restaurants. Giraffe, Cielo Blanco and Joe Delluccis. It's the new place to go and would recommend it to anyone who likes fine dining and somewhere to drink at the weekends. read more

It's clean modern and bright, has a great range of shops and brilliant food area. What's not to like?

Trinity shopping centre is one of the best I've visited, compared to the bullring and Trafford centre I think it has so much more to offer. Trinity kitchen is a great place too. The amount of food that they offer and switch up it's amazing read more

I, like many Leeds enthusiasts went and had a peek at the brand new Trinity Leeds shopping centre which opened today to grace the streets of Leeds City Centre. There's been a lot of controversy regarding the opening of this centre particularly from a lot of disgruntled Leeds residents who feel it will upset the balance of the big dogs vs the independents. Whilst I was saddened to see several empty shops on Briggate (many of its outlets have moved into the centre) on my walk down there I was impressed by the almighty curved glass roof and inordinate number of staff on hand to help out with your every need. Other than that, it is what it says on the tin. A shopping centre. I don't think it will necessarily take away from the independents. Those who choose to shop in the likes of Topshop and eat in Nandos will continue to do so and those who like something a little more different will look on with intrigue but will still continue to go to their favourite independent hideout. (I'm writing this from Outlaws Yacht Club and not the latest TGI Fridays to hit Trinity Leeds). What it will hopefully do is up the traffic of people coming into the city centre bringing more income to Leeds in general. This will have a positive impact on everyone. Worth a visit but don't expect too many miracles. read more

How will they cope when it gets really cold? The wind was really howling through some of the stores today. read more

Labyrinth with an expensive hat on! It's fine, has a good selection of shops, and honestly, the food in there is pretty damn good, and it's nice to have trinity kitchen in there, and the everyman cinema. It's quite hard to work out where it starts and stops at points, and it's not amazing to navigate, (I agree that the escalators are in damn stupid places) especially when it's a full saturday afternoon crowd, not sensible, please just save me! Thought naming it as such was odd, with the uni/college bit down the road, but hey, its a shopping centre, it's clean, it's light, and it'll do. I'm not surprised at the varying reviews, nice bits of art thrown in too, that are worth a bit of a mention. read more

Great centre for shopping and food. I'm both looks and facilities. They have a food court with street food vans set up like a festival. It's one of the nicest if not the nicest shipping centre I have been in. read more

Shopping made easier. Love the Everyman cinema and its setting. The shops are spacious and it's always busy.

I'm not a natural shopper. I can barely get through even one hour in the city centre without needing to sprint into the nearest public house and have a calming beer. Perhaps my brain has learned that agoraphobia = fine ale, triggering waves of unnecessary panic in the hopes of hoppy rewards. My degu has learned that squeaking violently at me more often than not results in a tasty dried banana chip, and that's a woefully moronic small rodent. We are none of us immune to Pavlov it would seem. So it was Wednesday, I'd had a beer and a brownie at The Reliance with the bearded one and I felt ready to take on the squawking multitidinous horde of shuffling consumptionists in Leeds City Centre, all in the hopes of finding a birthday present for a 30 year old hippy and her 8 year old son. Easypeasylemonsqueezy. Except. No. I had barely reached Primark when the prickling irritation of alternatively being held up at a snail's pace behind the 3 abreast DLA daytrippers and then sprinting through the throngs of cackling warpainted teens got too much. I'd bought nothing. I'd only been on Scope for 3.2 minutes and already I was hiding in a doorway phoning my mate to meet up for pint number two. I decided the best approach after a lovely sojourn at The Swan would now be to dart into the nearest discount card shop then bolt into Trinity and finish the deed. Ha! I should be so lucky. The card dealy went fine, Trinity on the other hand was a lot like the film The Cube but without any of the excitement or anticipation....although you do need an idiot savant on hand to navigate all three featureless floors. I just couldn't find any spark of interest in there, all I wanted was a wee and some Lego (in no particular order) but the instant desire to leave the minute I stepped through the doors was overwhelming and I admit I pretty much gave up before I even started. There was just nothing suitably enticing that made me want to be there...and the toilets proved impossible to locate even with my attempts to gain directions from a feckless floor assistant as I became increasingly sweaty eyed. He didn't know either and the map was incomprehensible....and I say this with a Master's of Science Degree in Catchment Dynamics. Things you didn't know about me eh? So I admit, I gave up. I can't get excited about seeing the same old chains in featureless white cubicles under a plexiglass dome. So I went to the market, had a glorious tinkle in their excellent bogs then bought everything I needed under one fine Victorian roof. Then I went back to The Reliance. Mission accomplish. Beer obtained. Urge to kill fading....fading...RISING...fading....gone. Perhaps I am being unfair. Yes Trinity is exactly what it aims to be, a blank sterile space with lots of glass filled with the same shops you get everywhere in every city in every town....supported by the same chain restaurants....I was just so instantly bored it was hard to see the appeal. read more

Shopping isn't my cup o tea but thought I'd try it before I went for a few beers, there's nothing special in here and it's freezing, there was a gale blowing through, don't know how much the architect got but I don't think he was told it was being built in Leeds, not Dubai or Spain, it needs doors and a roof with no gaps, I don't think it will be a big draw due to parking, if I must go somewhere I'll go to the white rose and if I want to be cold I'll go to Freeport. read more

Fundamentally, it is what it is. There's only so much you can do with a shopping centre; sure, it's clean (thought the floors were already starting to become a little stained when we went) but with cleanliness comes sterility. The shops are an identikit mix of overpriced fashion and chain restaurants - it is basically a condensed retail park under an elaborate roof, which may keep out the rain, but certainly doesn't keep out the cold. There are niggles, certainly. Those with kids may find it frustrating getting from floor to floor with only two painfully slow lifts in the entire centre, and escalator links don't seem particularly cohesive. There is also the issue of what will happen to other parts of the city centre, bearing in mind many of the stores within have simply relocated from elsewhere. Indeed, there was almost an eeriness to the St John's Centre today, and I can imagine other areas were similarly affected. There are also a surprisingly large number of empty units, and it does feel like the opening may have been slightly rushed. It may well work, at least until the hype dies down, but given the current state of the economy, this is probably as good as it's going to get. It'll be interesting to see which stores remain in a year or so... read more

I really am the wrong person to ask when it comes to big sprawling shopping malls. I hate the chaos, I hate the noise and I hate the overkill of big brands. That said, I think Trinity is one of the nicer shopping centres I've been to. It's got some lovely restaurants in addition to all your high street classics. It's got some beautiful statues dotted about as well that give it a nice touch. All in all, really modern, clean and stylish - a nice edition to the Leeds shopping experience :) read more

Not a bad place, thought it was over rated mind, I'd heard big things about this place but it doesn't seem to have much of anything I heard about. Thought it might be bigger and have more shops in. Its not easy to get to tye next floors and if youre on the groumd floor and need the loo youd better hope youre not too desperate as unless ive missed something the only toilets are on the third floor and considering it's not easy to get to the other floors then make sure you plan ahead if you need to go!!! There are some good shops although some are quite small but I had hoped there would be more variety. There are supposed to be more opening later on but not sure when. Hopefully not too long though!!!! Might be better when there's even more?! Who knows?! read more

The Trinity Leeds Shopping Centre is one of the most awaited shopping centres of Leeds and while there has been a lot of criticism about high street stores being closed and the mall knocking out a lot of competition, this place can only do good than bad to the already broken down economy. It will bring people to Leeds and introduce them to a completely urban look to balance the architecturally beautiful buildings that we have in Leeds like the Corn Exchange. It may feel that a lot of other areas in the city centre would seem deserted an example being the St Johns centre but it is just a reminder to everyone that only the best will survive and it would effectively help the customer/the people in the end. While there are whispers going around stating the money could have been used better, there wouldnt be a better way of turning things around and facing the financial recession we are in. The mall has created a lot of jobs and will invite a lot of brands and vendors which never existed in Leeds before, a good example would be the Apple store and the Everyman cinema. The mall aims at opening a new store every week all the way up to Autumn which is probably the most positive thing we have seen in the last 12 months where we saw a series of brands closing down like Jessops, Jacobs, Comet et al. read more

yea i must be getting old, as everytime i enter TLSC it takes me 3 times longer to find an exit. not a fan at all but its handy for all the regular items, so whoop i guess. read more

This review will consist of the Apple Store and the pandora store in trinity shopping centre Leeds, after walking in to both stores I was completely ignored tried to speak to a member of staff in the Apple Store to be told he was busy (standing there very hard job he has) eventually in the Apple Store I spoke to a member of staff with a brain unfortunately she was insistent that I moved? So because her job involved looking at the door?? (Unbelievably confused by that) after 3 hours waiting I finally had my iPhone battery fixed for free since this was an apple manufacturing fault even though I had to argue this fact with them -_- pandora store was about the same a 10 minute wait to speak to staff only to be told they didn't have what I wanted very disappointed (pandora on briggate was much more helpful) read more
