Festival Place

About

Good shopping is guaranteed at Festival Place, a vibrant 1.1m sq ft shopping centre in the centre of Basingstoke, just off the M3.

The ideal destination for easy, everyday shopping, Festival Place is also somewhere to visit for special occasions and fun family days out.

It’s somewhere people can come to relax, socialise, workout, eat and shop – and everyone at the centre loves welcoming new visitors and catching up with local, loyal customers.

Whether it’s technology, entertainment, fashion or food, Festival Place has everything you need under one roof. 

Home to more than 200 brands including M&S, Next, Rituals, H&M, Jack & Jones, Fat Face, Apple, Pandora, Schuh and Superdry, there are also lots of brilliant independent businesses that bring something completely different to the mix. Check out vintage comics and action figures and retro games at Kushti Comics, and homeware and gifts at Fig & Fox.

A wide range of restaurants, cafes and bars makes Festival Place an appealing destination for foodies, whether it’s for a romantic dinner, a business lunch, evening drinks, or a coffee and catch-up with friends. You’ll find firm favourites Nando’s, Wagamama, Pizza Express and Pret along with great independents with the flavours of Africa on offer at Nigerian restaurant Afrizi, and sensational big plate specials at Festival Street Kitchen.

Equally popular as a leisure destination, Festival Place is home to a 10-screen Vue multiplex cinema with luxury reclining leather seats in every screen. There is also a fitness, leisure and sports complex spread over seven floors, the fun Flip Out trampoline park, and a community library.

But Festival Place isn’t just about shopping and dining, there is an exciting calendar of events for brilliant family days out throughout the year.

Festival Place is fully committed to protecting the environment and was the first shopping centre to operate an on-site Materials Recovery Facility and Food Digestion Facility, turning food waste into grey water.

It’s easy to reach, too. The bus station is on the doorstep and the train station just a five-minute walk away. The centre is just minutes off Junction 6 of the M3, and the car park is nearing the end of a multi-million-pound refurbishment project which has given it an impressive facelift, both internally and externally.
