The Regent

Shopping

Whether it’s the bustle of the markets, the air-conditioned calm of the mall or the exclusivity of boutique shopping that is more your bag, Blackpool has it all. There is a myriad shopping opportunities around the main pedestrianised areas of Victoria Street and Church Street, where most High Street fashion stores are concentrated; Queen Street is the place to go for small, independent boutiques. Located nearby is the Houndshill Shopping Centre which has another 40 retail outlets and a choice of cafés and restaurants in which to recharge your batteries.
