Venue Description

The Galleries Shopping centre is the heart of Washington, conveniently located just off the A1 and A19. Offering household names such as Sainsbury’s, ASDA, M&S, H&M, Next, Costa, Argos and Wilkinsons as well as bowling, bingo and a new leisure centre, there’s no reason to shop around. With an in-house free shop mobility scheme and over 3000 free car parking spaces, including conveniently located accessibility spaces, shopping with us has never been easier.

Accessibility

All of our entrances have a level or ramped/sloped access with automatic doors wide enough to cater for a mobility scooter. The entrance by Sainsbury’s is the most level access point. We have a standard passenger lift which provides access to the centre from the Bus Station – you would remain in your chair to use this lift.
