BullRing Shopping Centre

...any more! When the Bullring opened it was like a spaceship had landed in the middle of town and dropped another city in the middle of what was a horrible 60's concrete jungle. Despite the fact the Bullring has now been open for a two years now it hasn't lost its 'shine'. - Getting There - The Bullring is easily accessible - if you're travelling by train it's straight out of New Street train station or Moore Street Station and across the road and ...
...you're travelling by car the Bullring has 3 dedicated car parks (Moor Street, Edgbaston Street and Centre Car Park) with a total of over 3,000 car parking spaces. Even on busy shopping days I've managed to park, but the car parks are very expensive - it was £1.80 for an hour for the last time I was there! I tend to get the train unless I'm planning lots of bags! I usually park on the top floor of Moor Street Car Park and walk across the bridge which ...

Review of BullRing Shopping Centre

I only discovered the Bullring shopping centre in September last year when I moved to Birmingham University. I was really impressed with the huge number and range of shops available in the centre and the surrounding area - I'm a bit of a small-town gal me, I'm more used to farms and countryside walks. The first thing that attracted me to the Bullring was its appearance. You can't miss it as its situated right in the very centre of Birmingham, and ...
...away, a trip to the Bullring centre makes for a fantastic day out for everyone. ***So, what's there?*** With over 160 shops, including the two major department stores Debenhams and Selfridges, there is something for everyone here. There are heaps of high street fashion shops from H&M to Topshop, New Look to Monsoon. There are also more electronically themed outlets for the gentlemen with a large Dixons store as well as Apple computers (one of the ...

Review of BullRing Shopping Centre

...8,000 jobs created the new BULLRING (yes, one word now - very hip and trendy) re-opened on 4th Septemeber!! The whole area has totally changed, new sculptures outsides, St.Martins church has been cleaned and restored back to it's former glory. The centre is still on the same site and can be accessed via New Street near the Rotunda and round the back where all the old outdoor markets used to be. WHATS INSIDE Over 140 shops so far and more to come, ...
...We parked under the BULLRING (3,000 car-spaces) although maybe not easy to find if you don't know your way around the city and quite expensive. The inside was very impressive, very modern, light and airy but too many people for my liking, my main high-light was visiting Selfridges, my mouth dropped open and was agog, plenty of 'ooooh's' and 'aaaaaaah's' LOL, the lower floor of Selfridges was one giant eating place full of little sub eateries..a sushi ...

Review of BullRing Shopping Centre

...have to say that the Bullring is the best one I have been to in this country certainly, and rivals others in Europe and the US. The Bullring officially opened on the 4th September 2003. However, I didn't manage to get down there until I started a placement last week. I was amazed by what I saw. There is something for absolutely everyone in there. The shops range from the cheaper end of the scale to the more expensive. Shopping in Birmingham had ...
...did not see the old Bullring in all its glory. When I was old enough to go shopping into Birmingham I was underwhelmed by it all, to say the least. It was full of cheap shops and I much prefered the town shops. I couldn't see what all the fuss was about. I can now! There is easy access to the Bullring from both New Street and Moor Street stations, both of which are short walks away. If commuting by car, there are 3,100 parking spaces available - ...

Review of BullRing Shopping Centre

...i first heard about the Bullring i wasnt really that excited, but i had a look online and was very impressed! There were so many shops listed and Selfridges was such an inspiring, funky and creative design: i just HAD to go there! The first time I went was on a day out with the German Exchange group. We were allowed 3 hours to shop and we thought yeah that'll be enough... how wrong were we!! The moment we stepped in through the huge glass doors, ...
...nemo game lol). The bullring has many different cafes and places to stop and have a coffee,which is just what you need when doing some serious shopping! We visited the foodhall just outside the Bullring where there was a wide range of places to eat. There are lots of Starbucks at least 3 we counted, which was rather amusing at the time. There are also 2 costas which sell the nicest hot chocolate ever!!! One of the best parts of the Bullring is ...

Review of BullRing Shopping Centre

...the day I recommend the Bullring Shopping centre in the heart of Birmingham. It has something for everyone, and on the off chance you can't find what you are looking for, there are plenty of shops just outside for you to look round. GETTING THERE:- If you are visiting by car there are plenty of signs directing you as the Bullring is one of the main attractions in Birmingham. If you arrive by train there are two stations very close to the shopping ...
...over 160 shops in the Bullring so I am sure you will find something you like. There are a whole range of shops from clothes shops, jewllers, computer stores, electrical shops..... Some of the shops include Topshop, River Island, H&M, Selfridges and Debenhams, Dixons, Apple and many, many more. One of the good thing about these shops is their size. The Bullring is bigger than most shopping centres and the shops certainly show this. The Dixons is ...

Review of BullRing Shopping Centre

The Bull Ring. Every Brummie knows the famous Bull Ring. The market, people shouting their wares, the hot jacket potato sellers (with wheeled ovens that looked to be 100 years old at least) and there was that woman who sold paper carrier bags. Then the developers came and ruined it. Within 15 years of being built the new Bull Ring was starting to look very, very shabby indeed. After some considerable debate it was decided that the Bull Ring must ...
...Yes! The original plans called for the famous Rotunda building to be knocked down. This was fiercely resisted by the vast majority of Brummies (myself included!) who had grown to grudgingly like and then to openly love this weird, round building. So, the plans were amended accordingly. They would now included the Rotunda. I was happy about this as a cousin had helped to design the building. Over a period of a couple of years, Brummie and visitor ...

Review of BullRing Shopping Centre

Now in its fourth year since being renovated, the Birmingham Bull Ring Shopping Centre is a fantastic place to shop. There are a wide range of stores - all the usual High Street favourites, as well as some smaller retailers. Perhaps the most noticable and well known thing about the Bull Ring, is the design of the Selfridge's building. From the outside, it looks like a large, bulbous spaceship, pannelled with hundreds of silver circles. On the inside, ...
...thousands of products on offer. The Bull Ring complex spreads around St Martins Church, the statue of Lord Nelson looking out imposingly over the square. The mall's are split into two parts, one either side of St Martins, although they are joined by the lower ground floor. The inside of the centre looks modern and clean, with marble-effect floor and a glass ceiling. There are several touch screen computerised information points situatied around ...

Review of BullRing Shopping Centre

...to the expectations. The Bullring is right in the centre of the City with easy access from New Street and Moor Street train stations, you can see the Bullring from either and wlakways are clearly signposted too. If you are travelling by car there are plenty of car parks around with ample numbers of spaces and again the car parks and shopping centre are clearly signposted from around the City. The Bullring centre opens 9.30am-8pm Monday to Friday, ...
...doors open before to allow youto browse the shops before you are allowed to make purchases. Many food/drink outlets ar eopen beyond these hours too. There are over 130 shops including Debehmans, Selfridges, Molton Brown, HMV, Virgin, Footlocker.... and the list goes on for ages. Many of the larger stores have in-store cafes too and you have the usual eateries; Burger King, Pizza Hut, Costa, Starbucks etc. Throughout the centre you will find plenty ...
