Eccles

Eccles town centre has grown from a small village into a vibrant town centre that provides a range of shopping and community facilities.

Eccles is located at the heart of the Manchester City Region. It is a well connected town served by motorways, trams, trains and buses that link the town centre to Greater Manchester and beyond.

The town centre is home to a mix of independent, energetic local retailers and brand names as well as daily and monthly markets. Eccles also has a number of well known local restaurants and public houses. The town centre also hosts a number of events for all the family. Events range from book talks to family events and jazz nights.

The town centre also offers access to a number of community facilities and services including Eccles Gateway health and community centre, adult and children's library services, a post office, travel information offices, council and partner services, and one of the busiest Fit City leisure centres and swimming pools in Salford.

Eccles is an established office destination with a mix of affordable and high grade office. This includes new office developments along Centenary Way at the gateway to MediaCityUK - offering an exciting opportunity for the town centre. The council's business team can offer advice for anyone looking for business advice, information on relocating or starting a new business in Salford.
