There’s a clue in the name, Old Town is the original town sitting up on the hill and has an ambience all of its own with stylish wine and cocktail bars, traditional pubs, restaurants ranging from Thai to Nepalese. There's also buzzing night clubs and the 212-seater theatre, The Arts Centre. Well worth a visit!

Just outside the town centre sits Greenbridge Retail and Leisure Park, home to Swindon’s only Imax cinema. There’s also a wide variety of restaurants, several shops and plenty of free parking.

Housed within the beautifully restored Grade II listed buildings of the Great Western Railway, the South West's most popular Outlet Village boasts a huge variety of shops and brands, not to mention restaurants and coffee shops, many of which stay open till late.

The Town Centre boasts a great choice of cafes, restaurants and bars including the newly opened food court "The Crossing". There's also the new Regent's Circus development with many restaurants and a six screen cinema all under one roof.

Entertaining since 1929, the magnificent former Regent Theatre now hosts many evening events from music to comedy to roller discos. Check out the latest gigs here.

Swindon’s premium theatre has played host to the top names of dance, comedy, drama and music. The 635-seat auditorium has two bars including one for pre-show food.
