Wow amazing, what a fantastic celebration of our culture x

Unfortunately, this shopping centre, like many others, is suffering from empty units. Barnsley Council have allowed the building of the Glass Works shopping centre next door and now need to come up with some innovative ideas to get businesses into both of them. The immediate area around both centres has been nicely paved with lovely seating areas, but walk a couple of streets back and the whole place feels unkempt and in need of street cleaning and shop front refurbishments.

Sorry to say this, I'm from Barnsley originally. Lived and worked there for many years. I visited recently, I guess like many shopping centres there is a decline. Large shops empty, other premises filled with bargain shops. It's a shame really. It was clean internally. I went in via the Alhambra roundabout side, that was another story. There was a very strong smell of cannabis outside the doors the grounds around were full of litter, it wasn't very inviting. It's still a main entrance to the centre. This is why I gave it three.

Great place to shop. Felt very safe and lots of safety measures due to covid. Even got a free face mask

Great centre free disabled parking as well.

Went into town first time in 3 years and had a meal in the indoor cafe. It was a wonderful experience. I have lived here all my life but the new town centre is a real eye-opening experience. The only thing that spoiled my day out was the sight of drug users staggering around. It's becoming a real problem and needs addressing urgently.

Clean and tidy. Security were visible throughout the centre Ample parking at reasonable prices Disabled parking and access A good range of stores inside with easy access to the main street and local markets. A selection of places to eat and drink also located throughout the building

Big improvement to the town centre. Lots of retail shops,several different restaurants & snack bars. Ten pin bowling, amusements to suit all ages, all inside no matter what the weather is you can shop, eat visit the multiplex Cinema Or visit many entertainment s All on one town centre site..

Outstanding service, extremely knowledgeable and went over and above in service. Can't say enough nice things about Florence Crypto Fx and her platform! Florence has an amazing reputation in her field because of her no nonsense attitude, her work ethic and core values. We recently worked with her on helping us invest in her platform. Although Mrs. Anita. She's know for good recommendation, she took our investment higher under her wing and found her the perfect place that was in her good range. It was a very good investment the platform was very helpful and every day profits to look at. They made our investment feel very comfortable and wonderful everyday. From the start to finish the process went smoothly and effortlessly. perfect work she did i really enjoyed the process because of the hard work of the team. Highly recommend Mrs.

Some guy shouting religious propaganda outside. Security actively helped him by hitting and assaulting ongoing bystanders. Would go again

The information desk lady was very helpful, we've never been before , she even did some photo copying for me. The security guard on ground main doors was also extremely helpful directing us to The Works.

It was a while ago when I was at this place and I knew everything about it. Years gone by and when I visited this place again I was completely lost because of the massive complex all Town centre shops station market place I mean everything changed in great quality and secure pleasure for people to live and enjoy, there are no more hiding places in the town centre as it used to be. Will come back with kids next week to do shopping.

Great, fab shopping centre.. Plenty of parking layout really good has lifts etc. Could do with another set of toileting facilities as this being the only problem, otherwise great shopping centre 🤗

Alhambra shopping centre is the main town centre in Barnsley Central. The building consists of all needs and offices, joined by malls, banks, market square etc. for the cosmopolitan/Metropolitan city centre. With expectations for growth and more development, this town has facilities and infrastructure for some hundreds of thousands of people and offers a country side lifestyle and beautiful inhabitants/people from various walks of life.

Good diversity of shops and a comfortable place to sit down to partake in refreshments if the fancy takes you. Also a nice place to browse for anything you feel the need to buy, they even provide sitting benches if you only want to sit and people watch. The toilets are clean and well appointed, all in all, a pleasant experience to be recommended.

Because of how much Barnsley has changed over the years (not for the better), I don't visit there very often. When I do go, the Alhambra centre is one of the places I will. Generally, clean, tidy, and welcoming, but mainly for the feeling of security.

1 entrance in signposted well for foot traffic. The entrance under subway needs better signposting. No signs outside to say in or out. I ended up walking towards someone that was exiting. Social distance is well managed at main entrance but not at the less busy entrance

Lots of stalls but not a great range of choice, only two fishmonger etc. It was bustling though so that was good. And it has the excellent Price's veg and fruit stall.

No issues at all. Friendly staff, clean toilets. Good social distancing measures in place. Free parking on Sunday's too which is good

This is an excellent shopping centre. However, very quiet at the moment due to current circumstances and many shops are closed.

Good shopping experience. In and out of the centre is controlled. You are required to wear a face mask. Shops are also controlled with hand sanitiser at the entrances. A good Christmas atmosphere today too.

It's a great shame the demina of the players and fans you might have thought they were Demoted!!

Good social distancing in place in all shops. Clean and bright. Parking at the side of it so no need to get caught in any bad weather

Always a cheerful place... no matter what time of the year. Clean and bright with some 'big name' shops too.

In my own experience even in the Lockdown .I went to both Wilkos and Iceland .and my experience has always been pleasant .

empty.

Lacks a lot of shops you'd expect in a shopping centre, but a good variety available to buy.

Clean...but then again not many people in the centre .....it looked more like shuter central that a shopping centre ...but then again that due to the situation...

NICE SHOPPING CENTER

Clean

Clean

Obviously not alot open due to covid restrictions ...good covid rules in this area

Got what I wanted.

Great

(Translated by Google) Wa okay (Original) Wa okay

It's a shopping centre what can I say. It could be anywhere, but it's ours.

Around 30 stores and independant stalls all under 1 roof. Parking available.

Never well it match meadowhall but it does have a good selection of shops for it's small location so my apologies of course medowhall is better but this is really trying hard to be just as good

Great shop

Ok for some things.

Excellent

Very friendly & well known shops

Bright clean good mix of shops

Easy to find,open spaces, but not many people about due to covoid..

Covid guidelines adhered to variety of shops

Great but miss Primark in lockdown

Not a great at minute with all covid restrictions

Brilliant shopping centre felt qui6safe from the Covid pandemic

Good place for a inside and outside shopping experience

Very quiet with lockdown

It's a small Mall but has some good shops inside, Primark, TK Max, Next and other well known stores. When it is in full service and not lockdown there are a couple of really good cafes that serve excellent coffees and food. The car park is attached so no need to be in the bad weather. The main doors lead out straight onto the main shopping area of the town. Well worth a visit.

You get told to leave as soon as you walk in

Nice and clean

Not a bad shopping centre Quite a few shops there Good parking at a reasonable price 👍

Bit boring, needs more shops.

Its local

Fantastic ace to shop

Security on the doors, friendly and attentive, safe and spacious

Only use this car park for access to visit an outside vendor but appears clean with several stores. Cannot comment on any as have only used car park

👍

Got Sum shops that You might need one day

Be better when new shops come,but looks great a must Dollies ice cream parlor,

Not altered a great deal since my last visit. Bought some nice items

Great place to visit if you want a meal or just a quick snack or coffee a very good range of different cuisines to suit almost every taste... also if you fancy an alcoholic drink there's a licensed bar too... All in all if you're in town it's well worth a visit

Had a lovely day out with my mum and sister Christmas shopping yesterday 1st time I have been shopping in Barnsley since all the new shopping areas opened will be going again.

Very nice cosmopolitan feel. Good variety of shops to choose from and good Yorkshire service.

Very Bad Experience with Fat Harry (One of the security Guards). My girlfriend aged 76 and myself aged 71 were threated and my car was damaged by Fat Harry. Just because I did not stop my car as there was a jam up in the car park. Fat Harry punched my car denting the bonnet. As for the shops, brilliant, but Fat Harry has to go. Or do a course in anger management.

Barnsley Alhambra Shopping Centre, always has been a favourite of mine just for the ease and convenience of indoor shopping especially when it's raining. Never have I had a problem purchasing whatever it is I have gone in for.

A really good small shopping centre. It's always clean, security are always visible, some good shops and it's very easily accessible for everyone.

Good busy atmosphere and plenty to keep you occupied

Refreshingly different shopping experience, good mixture of shops. Primark and Savers in the same building. Toy store just as you exit the car park is handy if you have to carry heavy toys.

It's taken a hit since the overall development of the main town centre buy I never really shopped there previously. The only stores I can say I have popped my head in would have been T k max or primark. Or at least I think that was the shops both on small scale. My purpose this time was to visit the alterations services to get some jeans etc shortened. Not yet picked up at time of review, quite costly at nearly £9 a pair to shorten no discount ie for more than one pair. There's a strawberry and marshmallow stall that serve them with hot chocolate that I like to buy unfortunately the staff had nipped away for 5 mins so missed out this time so opted for hot chestnuts outside the Alhambra. The Alhambra has always felt a little insignificant compared to places like meadowhall but that said if your in town anyway and one of the shops there can meet your needs it's a more relaxed environment than meadowhall Hall that's for sure. I think the town plan redevelopment of the Alhambra inline with the new glassworks etc so will see what happens.

Barnsley has improved so much, the market is fantastic and the new food hall upstairs Is great, way better than Sheffield for a day shopping.

Loved the display for Rememberance weekend. Was tastefully done and respectful. Thank you.

It's the older side of the glassworks it's the first port of call for a lot of people arriving by car in some respects I think it's better than the new side. Needs more seating

A somewhat busy shopping mall plenty of retail outlets supermarket and a few cafés not bad

Just another shopping centre. Does the job for people of Barnsley to get addicted to shopping for unnecessary things since there aren't any more engaging attractions or things to do (apart from getting pished) in this city. Glad I'm only here temporarily but most people are gonna 'live' like this forever

Always a busy shopping area, clean & well looked after. Ideal for parking, toilets & straight into town centre ❤

Not much going on other than primark and Wilkinsons. The shops seem to be shutting and moving to the new glass house/open market area.

It's a shopping centre that serves a purpose but feels unloved. Most major retailers have now moved to the Glass Works next door, perhaps a facelift and tie in with the Glass Works might afford it a 2nd life. The car park and public convienances in here are good.

Very good but somewhat hot in today's weather.

Nice place with good choice of stores.

Went up to barnsley last week from London, was a lovely time! Great place

First visit well impressed, well lit, very tidy people very friendly. Cafés a choice of only problem was seating apart from that made for a good stop off

We went to the Glasshouse actually but went into the market place for lunch - it was a late lunch and was surprised most of the eateries stop serving at 3pm. 😱 the + was the carpark charges of £2 for first 3 hrs then 50p per 30mins there after

Great shopping centre, everything you could want, with a fantastic food hall with very reasonable prices for lunch, we'll worth a visit.

Absolutely lovely shopping, lots of friendly and helpful staff inside and the whole building is lovely and clean.

Good place to shop for certain items also good nearby is refurbished market area. Free parking Sunday and Bank Holidays. Though free all time for disabled (excellent)

Not too bad at all for a town centre shopping mall , hardly any empty unit

The most popular shopping mall in the centre of Barnsley, full of shops, cafeterias and stalls. Didn't find what you're looking for inside? Walk through the mall to the pedestrian shopping centre of Barnsley.

Wide selection of market stalls, worth a visit. The cafe section is very popular with many queues for food.

The Alambra shopping centre in Barnsley Sth Yorkshire, is close to both rail and bus stations. The center has been undergoing redevelopement over last few years and as an ex Barnsley girl i was plesantly surprised by it on my recent visit

Nice place to shop..but in lower management they have no idea. My opinion from experience ,if you are family you go to the top, in my experience, no names mentioned.

Lost shops but still worth a wonder, Wilko's and Primark and nice coffee shops

Excellent complex , good selection of shops , large parking area !

I love what they've done to Barnsley Town centre. They've given it a real town feel. The Alhambra centre is always bustling and compliments the new areas of the town. I particularly like the local free magazine available by the doors to the shopping centre. It's also kept very clean

Very sad looking and very out of date shopping centre. Out of touch with bigger and more modern shopping malls. Needs knocking down and rebuilt as an extension to the more modern and appealing Glassworks next door. Come on Barnsley council, let's start adding to what you have already started to create.

First visit to the centre and Barnsley market hall impressed how clean and well presented it is. Also thought Interchange also good with clear information on bus times and seating

I would like to thank the car park attendant Leon who went above and beyond today when my clutch burnt out in the car park. He was so helpful. Even went outside to direct rac to my car. He was so helpful

Clean relaxing shopping area, lovely outside seating and fountains that change colour. A very enjoyable day out

Went with next to youngest grandson. Always busy but very clean.enjoyed a boba drink at the new stand

It’s ok! A few shops, and free parking on Sundays and bank holidays.

Fantastic place clean and friendly staff, lots of shops to choose from. Only criticism I have is the toilet location. It would help having a option downstairs too. Other than that fantastic

People in Barnsley never seize to amaze me with their friendliness so the public and staff alike are welcoming here. The shop selection is really good too. All in all a decent shopping trip and the town itself is worth a look around too. Especially in the Christmas months.

It’s such a shame to see so many empty units in what was once a pretty busy and vibrant shopping centre - but the few stores that remain open are still worth a visit! There are a couple of cafes that serve good drinks and food should you want a bite to eat, and shops such as Primark and CEX for you to spend some time in before heading out and seeing the rest of the shops in Barnsley town centre.

The entrance deceptively makes you think it's a small shopping mall but step inside and you'll be amazed at how spacious it is on the inside abd the variety of the business inside makes it a one stop mall.. Elevators and escalators available to make climbing easier, you can't help but be surprised by the sheer beauty of the place on the inside.
