Barry 

Barry Town Centre is focused around Holton Road and Barry Town Hall. 

Barry has traditionally had multiple centres for retail activity, including the High Street/Broad Street area and Barry Island. A more recent addition is a new urban development on an old dockyard called Goodsheds which features a number of independent shops. 

Holton Road is an extended commercial street, featuring a diverse range of independent small and medium-sized retailers, characterised by it's vibrant Victorian townscape and rich architectural heritage.  

King Square sits in the heart of Holton Road, houses several bus stops, is near the town hall, library and Central Park. King Square is naturally a very viable event space in a fantastic location. For information on hiring this space contact events@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk 

High Street is a collection of independent shops in Barry providing a range of retail, eating, drinking and service needs. The retail offer is very specialist, with few national retailers present. There are numerous quality independent shops in the centre particularly retailing ladies’ clothes, outfits, and accessories. There are also specialist shops serving the home improvement and furnishings market. Several of the independent retailers can be described as destination businesses and attractions for the area.

High Street/Broad Street area also provides the main evening economy activities for Barry in the form of café bars, restaurants, takeaways, and night clubs.
