From Eve

Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Marshall's Yard.

Check individual store opening times, as some cafés and smaller shops may open later or close earlier than the main centre hours.
Take advantage of the low-cost parking – 50p for two hours or £1 for four hours – and look out for any special offers or refund schemes with certain stores.
Visit on weekday mornings or early afternoons to avoid the busiest shopping periods, especially around lunchtime and late afternoons on weekends.
Use the central plaza seating to rest between shops, and bring a reusable water bottle as drinking water is available in the centre.
