GO Castlecourt in Belfast

Covering more than 8.5 acres of high street names and independent stores, Castlecourt Shopping Centre [map] is a great place to take the whole family for clothing, gifts, home furnishings and bargains galore.

Park the car in the multi-storey park that caters for more than 1,600 cars, and then head to the undercover and air-conditioned arena to check out more than 70 stores.
