    A very lovely place. It is like a one stop shop. So many luxury and designer items are sold here. There are so many retail outlets like Currys, ASDA, Argos, TkMaxx, Next, Subway, etc. From household items, to electronics, computers, clothes, shoes, etc. A lovely place to visit.

    A great shopping centre with lots of shops for a shopping spree to satisfy even the most eager shopper in Bradford from buying sportswear to furniture it's all here.. however you could use more places to eat than simply McDonald's.

    Thank you. Just received a £100 parking fine after shopping before Xmas. Your parking enforcement company failed to send us an initial notice and we were delayed for over an hour due to car park congestion. I'll never be using your terrible facility ever again.

    From my experience there’s always parking, Costa,subway and Greggs next door to each other, so can’t really complain for snap, getting out of the carpark on to the mini roundabout is sometimes a joke. Other than that. Not half bad for BraTfurd

  • 4/5 Mary M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good parking. Variety of shops. Visited Argos - easy to order, pay and quick to collect. Seating in waiting area. Helpful staff

  • 4/5 adrian b. 1 year ago on Google
    Like the place. Stopped for a McDonald's. It was dark in the carpark with the lights on. Very difficult to see the kerbs on the carpark which meant I hit the kerb twice 😳. Not done that for years. Generally speaking it is a good retail park with good retailers. Be aware of the kerbs at night

  • 4/5 James W. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place for shopping if you want a quick shop. Free parking and most shops that you'll need

  • 3/5 Onkar B. 1 year ago on Google
    Parking can be tight, was busy when I visited (New Year's Eve) so it's to be expected. Drive slowly through the car park as other drivers tend to drive as if you've given them way of right automatically. Decent amount of shops but only visited Next.

  • 4/5 Gayle B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots to choose from. The worst part at this time of the year is stepping out of a brightly lit shop onto a very dark walkway. Outdoor lighting for safety on the walkways would be good, especially for people with vision impairment

  • 4/5 Deb C. 1 year ago on Google
    Quieter than Broadway and New stores have opened since the last time I visited. Car park less congested than usual.

  • 5/5 Silver W. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great place to spend some time shopping there are many shops like sports direct and general groceries also there are some good choice of food outlets too.only issue I have found is the setup for traffic control isbreally bad a small roundabout in the retail park can make traffic really bad most of the time.There is plenty of parking in this retail park and the choice of shops is really good

  • 2/5 shane j. 1 year ago on Google
    Not too busy today on this visit, did notice the One below shop not open. Easy parking. I would say younger generation/people are parking in dedicated disabled zones and parent/kids zones that clearly shouldn't be and this is something that doesn't sit right with me and the retail park should enforce this, so I give it 2 stars only gor the lack of parking enforcement control.

  • 2/5 Ali S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's use to be a nice place for shopping, but now a days, customers service gone down the hill, they can't be bothered to fold the clothes properly, asda very bad , tk maxx the worst.

  • 4/5 Steve M. 1 year ago on Google
    Late Saturday visit to Argos. Easy to access from ring road and plenty of free parking.

  • 4/5 Jay M. 1 year ago on Google
    There's a fair selection of shops here, from clothing to sofas, down to electronics. The car park can get extremely busy and becomes quite difficult to get out of with the traffic so I'd recommend going outside of peak times.

  • 4/5 Michael 10 months ago on Google
    Good shopping centre, great choice of shops. The only downside is that a lot of the car park is one way, and a lot of people get confused due to poor signage and poor road markings

  • 4/5 Queenet U. 10 months ago on Google
    I like the park. Its got multiple shops to choose from, also vary spacious parking space.

  • 5/5 Samuel A. 6 months ago on Google
    Just bought a new bed from here. There's two people who work here that we know of, I think he may be called Sam and the lady is relatively new to the branch. Both of them are stars. Were very helpful and the best thing about these folks was two occasions we paid for some extra service, one being installation of the bed, and they couldn't do it but they immediately refunded that cost, they're very quick to action this. Overall, great experience buying a new bed and they chucked us 4 new pillows with the purchase which was a nice gesture.

  • 4/5 john s. 6 months ago on Google
    Varied choice of outlets (I enjoyed a wonder round the pound? store). Huge choice of things to buy. Large car park, but you may have to drive around to find a spot at busy times, especially near the station.

  • 5/5 Kayode A. 5 months ago on Google
    Well planned retail park, just by the train station and with a good variety of specialty stores including food and hot drinks. The shopping park also has a blend of affordable and luxurious stores.

  • 4/5 Rodger S. 8 months ago on Google
    Ample parking that is a good alternative to Broadway if you can get back within 3 hours. Lots of good, big shops and the park always feels clean and safe. Begging/street harassment is very rare which is unusual for Bradford.

  • 5/5 William i. 6 months ago on Google
    Great winter additions at Asda living down at foster square

  • 4/5 Sylvia R. 2 years ago on Google
    The foster square Is full of several stores which provides more shopping options

  • 3/5 Tommy W. 2 years ago on Google
    Only went to pc World seemed OK easy to park for a Saturday afternoon

  • 1/5 Tamás K. 2 years ago on Google
    Dont park there too long. Max is 3 hours. I got a charge for staying 3 hours 45mins. They should place more warning sings or give you a notice first time. But really 60 pounds?? (it can be 100 if you pay later) I think 20 pounds parking fine would be far enough.

  • 5/5 Sheila P. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything under one roof and spacious and tidy.

  • 4/5 For H. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent place. Big and spacious. All sorts of shops. Parking also.

  • 3/5 Beryl F. 2 years ago on Google
    Some good shops but not enough parking time to have a days shopping with a bit of lunch, shame they must lose out

  • 5/5 Komal A. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice shop for bulk buys. Huge variety of soft drinks. Good range of frozen food.

  • 3/5 Mr Nicholas Matthew W. 2 years ago on Google
    Could be better with the size of the complex but it's alright with a pound shop, pet shop & a couple of furniture stores which in my opinion are always empty but if they had different options in their place could possibly attract more customers to it ... Parking is a bit of a nightmare which I think is definitely the downside as it's just not big enough and should have been planned better as I've experienced customers decide to go elsewhere after driving round looking for a parking spot and get fed up so decide to leave.

  • 3/5 Marek L. 2 years ago on Google
    Not a bad shopping area , main plus point is ample free parking

  • 4/5 Yuvraj P. 2 years ago on Google
    Enough parking space and major retailers like Next, Currys, Argos, Sports Direct, Halfords. For eating out Macdonald, subway, costa

  • 3/5 Susan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Parking is always a problem here. Then when you get parked you've only got 3 hours, which may seem a long time but it isn't, to go in all the shops. Doesn't make sense to me.

  • 5/5 Adrian A. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely warm welcoming environment. Tricky to find and interesting drive to locate the clubhouse. But worth the effort.

  • 5/5 Raymond a P. 2 years ago on Google
    I went to argos it was very quiet

  • 4/5 Christine J. 2 years ago on Google
    Good, not too busy today. Had a good look around stores. Some good sales at the moment.

  • 4/5 charlene Q. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been going to forster Square for most of my life now. Theres quite abit of parking although it's best to get there before dinner time. There's shops for everyone whether you haven't got alot to spend or you have and you get free parking for up to three hours. There's plenty of places to eat including gregs, Costa, subway and mcdonalds too

  • 3/5 Andrew T. 1 year ago on Google
    Dangerous drivers, speeding round, a strong smell of drugs from cars parked up. It needs a warden or police to control the area. Dont feel safe.

  • 1/5 John H. 1 year ago on Google
    "out of town shopping". The title tricked me, shopping park indeed!!! Not even a basic swing set or adventure playground. And when we stopped for a picnic, some drivers got really irate. Worst park ever.

  • 4/5 Francisco Aguilar G. 2 years ago on Google
    Is very convenient, close to the Forster square Train station and they have a lot of shops from shoes, medicine, pets items, sofa and bed food like McDonald and subway. Not bad I definitely recommend this place.

  • 4/5 Khuram M. 1 year ago on Google
    Plenty Shops And Good Few Foods Place Around Surrounding Area. Foster sq Has Quite A Few High St Shop Subway McDonald's Etc

  • 5/5 Kunbi M. 2 years ago on Google
    Huge outlets for very good stores. Adequate parking and places to sit and eat as well.

  • 4/5 John B. 1 year ago on Google
    Design of car park needs looking at only one entry/exit which is regularly blocked by vehicles travelling in and out at weekends especially. Surely they could put in another exit at train station end. Get many more customers if they do.

  • 1/5 Claire J. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to McDonald's drive thru 40 minutes to get served and food THEN another 20 minutes to get out the flipping car park. Cars left right and centre, edging into the main line JUST to get a chance to get out. Cars beeping because of other cars blocking each other. Cars blocking the roundabout at the entrance so no one can get out! I don't go often then like today remember WHY I don't go to that carpark in general It's horrible, always has and always will be when it's just got one entrance. Sad this is a rant of negativity but true. Who created and agreed to thus carpark with only ONE small exit hadn't thought properly. It seriously needs at least another EXIT
