Located in the heart of Newcastle City Centre, Eldon Square Shopping Centre is one of the region’s leading retail and leisure destinations, welcoming visitors seven days a week, with late-night opening on Thursdays and restaurants open late.

Since opening in 1976, Eldon Square has been a central part of Newcastle’s city centre, proudly offering a diverse mix of shopping, dining, and leisure. Today, it remains one of the North East’s top destinations, home to over 140 stores and restaurants, from well-loved high-street brands to unique retailers perfect for a true shop-till-you-drop day.

Eldon Square is home to major department stores Fenwick and John Lewis & Partners, alongside the North East’s anchor NEXT store. Visitors can also enjoy a wide range of popular national and international brands, including Mango, Rituals, River Island, Oliver Bonas, Beaverbrooks, Boots and Starbucks, as well as a fantastic selection of restaurants and bars, such as Chaophrya, Flight Club, The Alchemist and Wingstop, offering something for every taste, from quick bites to leisurely meals.

But Eldon Square is more than just shopping. It’s a place to connect, with a wide range of dining and leisure options to suit every occasion. The shopping centre also hosts a programme of family- and child-friendly events, making it an engaging destination for all ages throughout the year.

Eldon Square is proudly dog-friendly, with a growing list of participating retailers welcoming well-behaved four-legged visitors (check out the list of stores taking part). This reflects our commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone.

We are also committed to providing an accessible shopping experience for all customers. From the moment you arrive, you’ll find accessible parking spaces close to key entrances, along with step-free access and lifts to help you navigate the centre with ease. Accessibility goes beyond physical access, too, which is why we offer Quiet Hours, an autism-friendly guide, sensory bags, and further support to ensure every visit is as comfortable as possible. Whatever your needs, our friendly team is always happy to help. Simply visit Guest Services on arrival or contact us ahead of your visit.

To further enhance the visitor experience, Eldon Square offers a range of customer services, including Eldon Square Gift Cards, available to purchase and redeem across a wide selection of stores and restaurants, making them ideal for gifts, incentives, or special occasions.

Eldon Square Shopping Centre is putting sustainability at the heart of everything we do, working closely with our teams, retailers, local initiatives, and the Newcastle community to adopt eco-friendly practices and green technologies across daily operations. We’re proud to support local projects and partnerships that raise environmental awareness and strengthen the community. Key improvements include energy-efficient lighting, water-saving systems, and smarter waste management.

We also encourage greener journeys by promoting walking, cycling, and public transport, helping reduce our collective carbon footprint. Together, we’re shaping a more sustainable and community-focused shopping experience for everyone.

Now, with a £65 million transformation underway, Eldon Square Shopping Centre is embracing the future while staying true to its Geordie roots, evolving as a modern, vibrant, and inclusive destination that continues to play a key role in Newcastle’s city centre, with over 140 stores and restaurants to explore.
