Southampton’s most popular shopping destination

Southampton is one of the liveliest and most exciting cities on the south coast, and at the heart of it sits Westquay, a premier shopping, dining and leisure destination.  

The destination offers high street favourites and aspirational fashion alongside a wide variety of dining and entertainment.  

Westquay’s unique external event space, The Esplanade, is what really sets the destination apart. Home to a fully curated events programme, bringing customers seasonal experiences and installations such as the Maze, Festival of Light, The Sensory Garden and SKATE, Westquay continues to surprise and delight visitors from across the region.  

Easily accessible by rail, bus, taxi and ferry, Westquay also benefits from access to the two million cruise passengers demographic that passes through or stops off at Southampton each year.
