Pleasant Valley Sunday
Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre - a couple of minutes from junction 4 of the M2 - boasts over 50 retailers, including Argos, BHS, WH Smith, Superdrug, Boots and Pandora. Its food halls at M&S and Sainsbury’s
are the perfect places for inspiration, when it comes to keeping to your healthy eating resolutions. As well as offering restaurants, home and ware, dry cleaning and a host of other services, the centre is set to add even more choice when building work is finished. Other new introductions include Click and Collect features at many retailers.
Open 9am-8pm Monday to Friday, 9am-7pm Saturdays and 10am-4pm on Sunday. Parking is free.

Retailing is the largest employer in the country, providing jobs for 4.3m people, according to latest figures
With online shopping, retailers recognise that rather than being a necessity, physical shopping is a leisure activity. It has led to a proliferation of late opening times, in-store coffee shops and added-value attractions: Pets At Home offers a free in-store pet nutrition consultation; Waitrose, a cookery school and B&Q, DIY classes.
While online shopping is set to grow, the need to physically evaluate an item still makes consumers twice as likely to buy at a store than on the computer, particularly when it comes to electronics and clothes. This is leading to a revolution on the high street, with retailers working hard to combine the benefits of shopping and browsing online with the benefits of being in a store, with click and collect features at some outlets and the chance to order online at others.
