Floors three and four (home to the cinema and food court) will be closed to the public, as will the area on level one and two of the mall leading to St John’s Place, where New Look and Boom Battle Bar are located.

To ensure visitor and staff safety, reduced capacity car parking will be available in car park one.

Car park two will be closed.

To support essential workers and keyworkers needing to park in the city, Castle Quarter is reducing its all-day parking rate to £4 per day throughout November.

Robert Bradley, Castle Quarter’s centre manager said: “We are very well prepared for this second lockdown and will continue to provide a safe environment for people to visit and purchase essential items and services. We will continue to review our opening hours over the coming days and weeks and make adjustments as needed, always prioritising the health, safety and wellbeing of our visitors, tenants and staff team.”
