Houndshill Shopping Centre is just a stone’s throw from Blackpool seafront – it’s right at the heart of Blackpool town centre. Enjoy big name stores, places to eat, convenient parking and much more, all under one roof.
Never Been to Houndshill Shopping Centre?
Well here’s our quick guide to what to expect!
Houndshill Shopping Centre is sandwiched between Blackpool Winter Gardens and Bank Hey Street (where the back door of Blackpool Tower is). A big, pay on exit, multi-storey car park is incorporated into it.
Inside, the shopping is all on one flat level with even tiled floors, so it’s perfect for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Along with the seating in the mall it’s ideal for anyone who isn’t too fit and healthy! It’s also a great place to visit when the weather is poor. With everything undercover you won’t get wet on rainy days.
Upstairs (up the escalator) are public toilets and the food hall. Take your pick from different food retailers and eat at one of the tables.
