About the centre

A sunny little landmark since 1998.

Mellown started as a covered market on Meadow Lane and grew into Brightford's easiest place to spend an afternoon. Five bright levels, a food court that smells like the weekend, and staff who know the regulars by name.

We're independently managed and proud of it — about a third of our retailers are local businesses, and our events programme is free to attend all year round.
