City centre

centre:mk & the Theatre District

One of the UK's largest shopping centres, right beside the city's theatre and arts quarter.

At the heart of the city, centre:mk is one of the largest covered shopping centres in the UK — a light-filled glass arcade home to hundreds of high-street and premium stores, restaurants and cafés.

Step outside and you're in the Theatre District, home to the 1,400-seat Milton Keynes Theatre staging West End musicals, drama, dance, opera and comedy, with MK Gallery and a cluster of restaurants close by.

What to see & do

  • Hundreds of shops under one bright, covered arcade
