Your Premier Shopping Destination in Bury
Established in 1992, Mill Gate has been a cornerstone of Bury town centre for three decades, offering a dynamic blend of retail, dining, and community-focused experiences. Our journey began with the vision to create a vibrant hub that combines modern shopping convenience with cultural heritage, reflected in our phased developments that integrated historic elements like the Kay Monument and Central Methodist Church. Over the years, we have evolved through strategic investments, including a 3.3 million transformation in 2000-2002 and a 1 million car park maintenance programme in 2010-2011, ensuring our facilities meet contemporary needs while preserving local history. Today, we host over 150 retail units, anchor stores like B&M Bargains and Boots, and a diverse food court, serving a population of 182,000 in Bury and beyond. Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through initiatives like carbon footprint reduction programmes and eco-friendly community activities.We prioritise accessibility, with direct links to Metrolink stations, bus terminals, and a 600-space multi-storey car park. Our team maintains rigorous safety standards, including recent ANPR installations and security fencing upgrades, while fostering a welcoming environment through our Customer Code of Conduct. Celebrating our 30th anniversary in 2022, we continue to innovate with events like the Great Mill Gate Bake Off and interactive exhibitions. As part of the Bury Town Centre Masterplan, we are dedicated to adapting to future challenges, such as the 2023 RAAC-related Market Hall closure, by providing temporary trader accommodations. With a footfall exceeding 13 million annually, we remain Burys premier destination for shopping, leisure, and community engagement.
