Barnsley’s high street has seen a lot of changes over the years, but you still have a wishlist of stores you’d love to see return or make their mark in town.
From fashion to music, here are the top 5 shops that Barnsley locals are seriously hoping for!
5. More Music Shops!
Barnsley has a passionate music scene, and many people have been asking for more music stores in town. A revamped HMV is a favourite, but it’s not just about the big names. There’s a strong call for more vinyl stores too, inspired no doubt by the success of Vinyl Underground in the Arcade. Music lovers want to browse, discover new and old albums, and feel the excitement of picking up physical copies again—something that streaming obviously just doesn’t match!
4. M&S (We Miss You!)
While M&S still has a new store just down the road from the town centre, many locals miss the department store vibe it once had in the heart of Barnsley. People loved the food hall, the clothing, and the convenience of having everything in one place. The move has left a gap (a pretty big one) in the middle of town, and many wish it would return to its old spot or somewhere central again.
3. Lush
Lush, the store known for its handmade bath bombs, skincare, and eco-friendly products, seems to have a huge fanbase in Barnsley. It’s the perfect spot for self-care and last-minute gift shopping, and locals think it would be a great addition to the town. Or, if you’re a bloke maybe, it’s just another place to add to that “panic buy” list of locations could hit on birthdays and at Christmas!
2. ZARA
For trendy, stylish, and affordable fashion, ZARA is the store Barnsley shoppers are craving. Known for its wide range of clothing for all ages, ZARA would be a hit with the fashion-forward crowd. It’s affordable fashion with a high street feel, and you seem to ready for it!
1. H&M
Topping the list is H&M, a brand that’s synonymous with budget-friendly style. From clothing to accessories to homeware, H&M has something for everyone. With its trendy pieces and affordable prices, you feel an H&M would be a game-changer for the town.
