Cribbs Causeway is situated north of Patchway and Filton Airfield in South Gloucestershire. The primary access routes are the M5 Junction 17 and the Patchway bypass road. The Mall is one of the two major shopping centres in the Bristol area, the other one being Broadmead. The Mall has around 14 million visitors a year.
The Mall
The Mall opened on March 31 1998. It comprises 135 shops on two levels, although some of the large stores occupy more levels. The major businesses are Marks and Spencer, John Lewis and Boots. The Mall also has a large water fountain at its centrepoint which is known for its impressive displays. Money thrown into the fountain is donated to local charities. Above the fountain is the extensive food court. The Mall has its own bus station.
Other sections
Cribbs Causeway also has two retail parks, and an entertainment area called The Venue. The retail parks are comprised of warehouse style shops with individual entrances from outside. The first retail park (separated from The Mall) is a group of large shops housed in distinctive yellow buildings. Nearby is a second retail park containing shops such as B&Q, TK.Maxx, Carpet World and Hobbycraft. The Venue is an entertainment complex featuring a Cinema, a recently opened Bowling Alley, Fitness Centre and eating places.
Other shops include the United Kingdom's first ASDA WalMart supermarket, the first Morrisons supermarket in the south of England, Toys-R-Us, Makro, Tile World and DFS, also car dealers, warehouses, pubs and hotels. Hidden away in a lane that passes under the motorway, is the Cribbs Business Centre.
