This is one of Leeds' older shopping centres housing Morrisons Supermarket and a variety of other businesses and services. It is inexpensive and the quality of stuff is amazing. Public transport and taxis make it very accessible and social distancing happens. The University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett University are within walking distance. The nearby Leeds Arena, Leeds City Council offices and then spilling into St John's Shopping Centre and the Headrow Shopping Centre all add to the fun of visiting the Merrion Centre and being part of the hustle and bustle of this great city.

What a magical experience my kids both had at the The Candy Cane Club visiting Santa today. Pre-booked, easy to find, no waiting around in long queues, and Santa was a proper Santa! We will definitely come back next year. Thank you Merrion Centre.
