Something big is coming soon to Northwich. Barons Quay is a multi-million pound development project that will put this Cheshire town at the forefront of the regional economy. This huge retail and entertainment centre is being built on the banks of River Weaver, just north of the town centre, and is set to expand the current shopping, leisure, and entertainment options in the area.
Once completed, Barons Quay will feature a variety of high-street stores, restaurants and a 5-screen cinema. As part of the project, several new homes will also be built in the area. Barons Quay will be open to the public by the end of 2016 and will be fully completed in 2017.
Overall, this project will make Northwich a more attractive and convenient place to live in and visit, as approximately 26 acres of brownfield land will be turned into a modern and pleasant urban area. Barons Quay will also revitalise the local economy, creating approximately 1,600 jobs and significantly improving Northwich's overall regional ranking. Thanks to its convenient location within easy reach of Manchester, Chester, and Warrington, Barons Quay will boost the local economy by attracting shoppers and visitors from all over Cheshire and beyond. Moreover, this development will offer residents plenty of choices when it comes to shopping, eating out, and enjoying their free time, and will improve the shortage of parking spaces in the town centre thanks to the creation of more than 900 free car park spaces.

Barons Quay - Cheshire's exciting new shopping centre!
Scheduled to be completed in autumn 2016, Barons Quay is going to be the premier shopping centre in Cheshire. It will be a retail and leisure centre in the heart of Northwich, easily accessible from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Birmingham. It will enrich Northwich and be a place where people can shop, eat, drink and enjoy themselves.
The centre will take advantage of its riverside placement and will have 6 restaurants overlooking the river with beautiful views. The main retail chains flanking the centre will be ASDA, M&S and a large, 5 screen Odeon cinema. The car park will have 900 free spaces for limited stays and the centre will of course house all amenities. It will also be fully accessible to wheelchair users and disabled patrons.
The owners are currently leasing out spaces within the centre with lots of opportunity for leisure and retail. While much of it has been bought up already, there are still a few spaces left.
£80 million has been spent on the development of the centre, which is hoped to improve tourism to Northwich town as well. The town itself is famed for its Victorian era buildings, with authentic timber frames. It also sites between the River Dane and River Weaver, which has given it a history of being a major part of the old salt industry. These are both parts of the reason the town has been on the Sunday Times ‘list of 101 Best Places to Live in Britain' twice. Northwich is one of only two north-west towns to have the honour. Other reasons are the town's low crime rate, great schools and low property prices.

Barons Quay - Northwich Shopping about to get better
You couldn't really blame town planners if they struggled to come up with ways to improve the pretty Cheshire market town of Northwich, but Barons Quay aims to do just that. Due to open later in 2016, this imaginative leisure and retail development will turn Northwich town centre into an even more desirable destination for shopping, relaxation and enjoyment.Summer will see shops and restaurants linked to existing outlets, making full use of the riverside setting. By autumn they will be joined by new branches of Marks and Spencer and Asda, with a further 100,000 feet of retail space, a five-screen cinema and more eateries and bars. Some restaurants will have the added attraction of riverside views, which will doubtless prove especially popular. A further attraction for travellers is the offer of free car parking for a limited period.
Northwich's history is steeped in a flourishing salt industry, and today its Victorian timber-framed buildings stand where the rivers Dane and Weaver meet. Its inclusion in two recent Sunday Times lists of the best places to live in the UK gives an indication of its charms, and it serves not only the local community and its surroundings, but also nearby towns such as Nantwich, Knutsford and Altrincham.
Barons Quay is conveniently located in the heart of Northwich, which is easily accessed by public transport or car, being only 23 miles to the south-west of Manchester, for example. The town sits in the middle of the green county of Cheshire, which is surrounded by Staffordshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside and Wales, making it a convenient stopping-off point or break for those travelling through.
The additional facilities of Barons Quays can only enhance the already-thriving community of Northwich, and could even help to return it to the prominence that it enjoyed at the height of salt production.

Places to shop in Cheshire, UK
Every county in Britain will have some real treasures for any keen shopper, and Cheshire is no exception.
Warrington, the largest city in Cheshire, is a good place to start our overview. The Golden Square shopping centre will cover most of the bases, offering its visitors a wide and comprehensive selection of prime retail outlets: whether you want to pick up some gorgeous new clothes or simply grab a bite to eat, Golden Square will be the perfect place. If you still have energy after your visit, you will find plenty of great shops dotted around the town.
But just because Warrington is the largest town does not mean it should have all of the glory...
If you are visiting Cheshire for a shopping experience, then Northwich will be a must-see destination. Northwich has its origins as a market town, so we should not be surprised that it has no shortage of great places to shop. Make no mistake, your primary retail destination here will have to be the Barons Quay shopping centre - an expansive complex that combines both retail and leisure outlets, along with an attractive waterfront environment.
Another worthwhile place to visit would be the county town of Chester. As well as being rich in local history, the city will not disappoint the discerning shopper. Throughout the city we find a wide number of unique shops with their own individual philosophies: Ancient World sells items for history buffs, Old Guys Rule specialises in grandfatherly gifts, and Castle Galleries is the perfect place if you want to pick up some art. Of course, we also find a more traditional retail complex in the form of the Grosvenor Shopping Centre.
We hope that this brief overview has opened your eyes to the many wonderful shopping experience to be had in Cheshire.
