Have you been to the Trafford Centre today?

If so, was it as busy as it would have been on Boxing Day and 27th December?

We're thinking of going tomorrow morning (intend to arrive at about 9.45am, just before it opens), but don't want to be stuck in traffic queues!

    Remember its open to 10pm. I went last night at 7pm, parked right outside and it was a lot less busy (though still busy). If you're expecting to get any bargains in Next though forget it, all the menswear is gone. (though I suspect they will ship in more from surrounding stores.)
  • We went on Boxing Day and oh boy we wish we hadn't bothered, wall to wall people and hell in the car park:eek:

    If you can make it cheaper do so. If it's not reduced, in Primark, off ebay or free I can't have it

    We went to Boundary Mill at Colne yesterday. Gave it up as a bad job as absolutely heaving. Took 20 mins just to get OUT of the carpark.

    No.

    I have also not been to Meadowhall at Sheffield either. Nor the Metro Centre at Gateshead when I come to think about it...............

  • I went on Boxing Day and didn't think it was that bad. I got parked on the covered car park and I didn't arrive until about 11am. I don't think I lined up for more than about five minutes to pay for anything either. I did leave my baby at home though! Good move, as I don't think i'd have liked to negotiate Next and Monsoon with a pram.
