What is in Swindon town centre?

The Brunel Shopping Centre is one of the town centre's main shopping destinations. Its current directory covers shops, restaurants and cafes, while its site also provides information about the food area known as The Crossing. Check the centre's own directory for the businesses and opening details that are current on the day you visit.

Swindon town centre is larger than one shopping centre. If you are planning a day out, combine a town-centre stop with the railway heritage sites, an event or another part of Swindon that suits your plans.

Plan around the day you are visiting

Individual shops and venues set their own opening hours, and event schedules change. Check the venue directly before travelling. If your visit depends on a particular shop, restaurant or service, confirm it is open rather than relying on a general directory.
