Key selling points for groups

Prime Central Gateway

Situated directly opposite Bath Spa train station and the city's main transport hubs, it acts as the perfect drop-off, meeting, or departure point for groups exploring the wider World Heritage city. 

Effortless Group Logistics

While the centre features a convenient underground car park, it is positioned directly adjacent to Bath's designated on-street coach drop-off and pick-up zones, allowing seamless passenger transitions. 

The Ultimate All-in-One Comfort Stop

Tour groups can easily split up to enjoy a wide array of over 50 British and international brands or gather together at a variety of group-friendly dining spots (like The Cosy Club and Nando's), making it an ideal, hassle-free lunch or dinner stop. 

Weather-Resilient, Open-Air Flow

The open-air shopping centre offers the charm of Bath’s Georgian-style architecture but provides a spacious, easy-to-navigate layout that easily accommodates large tour groups without feeling congested. 

Extended Evening Economy

SouthGate's vibrant dining scene and premium Everyman cinema stay open late, allowing operators to extend their day-tripper itineraries into the evening. 

Built-In Visual "Wow" Factors

The centre's famous seasonal public events – such as the vibrant summer installations – provide instant, highly Instagrammable backdrops that add unexpected value to a day trip. 

Accessibility & Inclusivity

The shopping centre is wheelchair-accessible on a single ground level, supported by lifts from the underground car park. The centre features comprehensive accessible stoma-friendly toilets and a fully equipped, registered Changing Places care room (featuring a hoist and adult-sized changing bench).
