  • "Nice place for shopping to go with kids and family, surrounded by other restaurants, branded and other clothes shops."
  • "Bury has one of the best and biggest town centres for shopping and attractions."
  • "It's a clean spacey shopping centre with enough shops to satisfy nearly all one's needs."
  • "A great shopping area with an assortment of all the clothes, shopping, household goods, gifts and others things you may be searching for."

Cons:

  • "Horrible place to live if you’re looking at the apartments in the buildings."
  • "Not much you can find there for entertainment !!"
  • "Getting a little tired now too many vacant units and security staff just chatting to each other or playing on their phones not a good sight."
  • "Not a great deal of choice for shopping.. would recommend diversifying a little or splitting larger shop spaces into smaller units to encourage more vendors."
  • "More shops closing down !! What's going on?"
  • "The rock used to be amazing, however with the currently economic climate many shops have closed down, leaving large empty shops."
  • "Quite a few shops have disappeared after closing down, so hopefully there'll be some exciting new ones opening up soon."

Parking and Accessibility

Pros:

  • "Car park free after 6."
  • "Easy parking plenty of space has a car wash on the multi storey car park."
  • "Great spot for parking your car and walking around the bury town centre."
  • "Very impressive shopping area and most importantly, really easy to park and no rip off parking charges."
  • "Plenty of cheap car parking along with excellent travel options."
  • "Ample multi-storey parking is available and it's extremely good value (if a little tricky)."
  • "Very good parking on the doorstep, and very reasonable cost."

Cons:

  • "The shops are good but the Rock Car Park is an absolute joke."
  • "The parking is tortuous for a large car."
  • "Parking is getting difficult at peak times."
  • "However as it's outdoors not the best place when it's raining and I would probably avoid if it's windy as it turns into a little wind tunnel."
  • "There's also free parking not far away but you have to watch you don't go over the time limit or you will get fined."
  • "Only giving a one star rating for the car park, not for the shopping complex itself."
  • "Car park is like a maze, 8/10 for cars, 0/10 for pedestrians so you spend ages trying to find your way out."

Family and Entertainment

Pros:

  • "Great place to bring family, now eating places are opening up its getting back to its usual fun, exciting and busy shopping and entertainment place for all ages."

  • "Went to the Cinema for the first time since lockdown and shielding. Watched Freeguy with my son as My Birthday treat, fabulous."
  • "Really good shopping centre with, m&s, debenhams, next, range, primark and many others, plus plenty of eating places."
  • "Activities were put on for the kids during Easter weekend including meeting the gruffalo."

Cons:

  • "Not only the rock but the whole of bury should surely be a model for many town centres in the north west to aspire too."
  • "It's OK but when it's raining or freezing you need cover, Bury is a town of two halves."
  • "Everything is automated though now and it does feel so different not to be chatting when ordering popcorn and snacks."
  • "However as it's outdoors not the best place when it's raining and I would probably avoid if it's windy as it turns into a little wind tunnel."
  • "It's okay visiting the Rock on a warm dry day, otherwise I give it a miss. For a modern built shopping centre it is awful design fault that everything is open to the elements."
  • "Disgusting attitude by the staff. They gave me the wrong popcorn twice!"
  • "The only real problem with this site is it is a long hike for disabled people. Not much seating to take a rest on."
