Victoria Square is for everyone!
We aim to make your Victoria Square experience as pleasant as possible.
Our teams are ASD Aware and Dementia friendly and have an understanding of the difficulties experienced when it comes to shopping in a busy city centre.

I.C.E Wristband
You can request an I.C.E (In Case of an Emergency)Wristband from our Customer Services Suite. The purpose of this wristband is to allow a member of our team to contact you or issue a PSA over the tannoy in the event of your child going missing whilst shopping in Victoria Square.
You simply write your name and contact number on the wristband and strap it to your childs wrist.
These are Victoria Square branded and disposable.
Quiet Spaces
We understand how daunting it can feel sometimes coming to Victoria Square. That why we have tried our hardest to make some areas of the centre quiet, peaceful and hidden from the busy shopping lanes.
Level 2 Play Area
Located on the 2nd floor of the complex, this area is fitted with green foliage and seats.
Customer Services Desk
The Customer Services Desk is a quiet, clean space off the main mall. This makes for a quick and easy stop if you need to re-group yourself before continuing your onward journey.
Management Suite
Located on the 3rd floor above Pizza Express, the management suite is a quiet space that you can visit to catch a breath and regroup yourself if you need to.
Lower Ground Seating Areas
We have plenty of seating areas around the shopping centre that you can use to sit, have a coffee or drink of water and relax before continuing to shop, dine or head home.
