Silverlink Shopping Park

great shopping here, got a few shops that are really big, and the cinema is good too

Based just off the A19, the Silverlink shopping complex has a wide variety of large shops and retail outlets. The complex also boats an Odeon cinema as well as a Frankie and Bennie’s resteraunt and also a Pizza Hut. They also have a Starbucks Café within the Borders book shop.
One of the main attractions is the cinema the fact that the cinema is based away from the town or the city centre you tend to get fewer children there so when you go to watch a film you actually watch the film with other people who are there to watch the film as well and not kids making loads of noise and messing around.

The Silverlink Retail Park is located just of the A19/​Coast Road. It has become increasingly popular over the years due to it’s location and the shops and facilities on offer. It is home to an Odeon cinema, restaurants as well as a variety of popular shops such as; Boots, Next, Argos, Mothercare, New Look, Borders, Marks & Spencers, Halfords, River Island, JD Sports, Curry’s, Comet etc. It offers a large, free car park but it gets EXTREMELY busy, especially at weekends, sometimes you have to queue to get into the car park which can be infuriating. Usually it is quieter to go early in the day during the week.

This place is always busy and parking is a nightmare. Having said that if you manage to park there’s a good selection of high street shops. Next, Boots, Argos the usual nothing to write home about but if you just fancy a browse then that’s fine because you won’t find anything that you can’t get elsewhere.

The Silverlink Retail Park is a great shopping park.
With a range of sports stores, clothing stores, electrical stores, furniture stores and general domestic appliance stores it has something for everyone.
With Pizza/​Pasta Hut at one end and McDonalds at the other, theres a choice (whether it be good or bad) of food to ensure you can enjoy a good few hours here — and then theres the Odeon Cinema neighbouring the retail area to top of a complete day out.

Just off the A19 the Silverlink has a good selection of shops, fast food restaurants and a cinema (Odeon). The car park (1502 spaces they advertise) is always busy and the through traffic heavy so it’s best to go earlier or later in the day rather than at peak weekend hours. Walking around the car park from one side to the other to get to the various stores can be stressful if it’s busy and you’re lugging bags or trying to corral small children and stop them walking into cars.
Shops include a large Next, Boots, Argos, Halfords, Borders with Starbucks, Comet, Currys, JD Sports, Mothercare, M&S and restaurants are Frankie amd Bennys, McDonalds and Pizza Hut. There’s plenty of shops to browse around and the stock selection tends to be good. My favourite is Borders where the book selection is excellent, the staff helpful, the children’s area bright and welcoming and the Starbucks upstairs a welcome place for a break. There are frequently good special offers on not just books but CDs and DVDs.
It’s a convenient place for me to go and I can find most things I might want here, it’s good for gift and present shopping.
has a store directory. There have been some changes in the last year or so with Home Bargains being replaced by Argos and PC World replaced by Marks and Spencer.

I’ve only been here once, but I really loved it! I live a good few miles away from here, so it was a special shopping trip with my sister that brought me here.
There is a very wide selection of different shops including Boots, Next, Argos and Marks and Spencer. They also have a few different coffee shops dotted around.
To be honest, I probably won’t go back in a hurry. there wasn’t anything that couldn’t be found on any high street elsewhere.
The parking was a nightmare and there were lots of people all trying to get out, so it took us a good while to get out of there

This is a great plac if you want a trip out to a few shops and dont want to go to the city. It has a boots good next shops currys and a comet a halfords who are really helpul. The food van on the left hand side is great for chips much better than you would get in the pizza hut next to the cinema, sorry is it pasta hut.
One thing is they closed the only cheap shop down to make a horrid unhelpful argos so when you go to the cinema you are stuck buying there sweets
There also have a borders and a starbucks, It is hell to drive around and walk around as there only the occiasional small path on part of the car park, the car park really sucks
If you are at all affected by the credit crunch I would go elsewhere not a place for bargains

Silverlink has loads of big name shops, argos, m&s, next, boots, border books with costa café upstairs, and quite a few more, it can get very busy, weekends can be a nightmare. shop, see a movie (there ‘s a cinema complex here) have a meal there’s lots to do at silverlink.

you could easily have a few hours shopping out here. It has got shops like argos, next and boots as well as many others. A lovely restaurant to have a lunch at and it is central to get back on the motorway.
