Eager shoppers will be celebrating this month as the much-anticipated Cabot Circus development finally opened its doors to the public in Bristol's city centre on Thursday 25th September.
Having taken over three years to build, costing in excess of £500 million and offering a 200,000 ft² of prime retail space, this incredible new addition to the South West’s shopping proposition will certainly see Bristol taking centre stage in the world of retail and leisure entertainment.
With a state-of-the-art complex of over 120 new shops, including 15 major flagship stores, 25 new restaurants and cafes, a grand European-style piazza and a 13-screen Cinema de Lux, it’s a haven of retail paradise. 
The likes of Harvey Nichols and House of Fraser will set the precedent, but this three-tiered shopping development will also provide space for all of the popular names you might expect on the high street, including Zara, All Saints, Fat Face, Cult Clothing, Top Shop and many more.
Over 25 new restaurants and cafes will offer plenty of options for weary shoppers to rest th
eir feet and enjoy a quick latte or a tasty lunch. New to Bristol is Giraffe, Yo Sushi!, Coal Grill & Bar and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. In Quakers Friars, the European-style, open-air piazza, renowned celebrity chef Raymond Blanc will open his new Brasserie Blanc, offering a great lunch and dinner menu using locally-sourced, seasonal produce with prices that won't break the bank.
Movie lovers will be spoilt for choice with the arrival of the UK's third Cinema de Lux, offering 13 screens (three of which will show films in 3D), reserved, luxurious seating and an exclusive Directors Lounge.
This incredible development in the heart of Bristol is covered by a unique shell-shaped glass roof; the only one of its kind in Europe. It's linked by a specially designed raised footbridge to a new state-of-the-art car park, providing 2,600 spaces for visitors.
