A guide for rates, fees and the use of the pedestrian area
Commercial
promotions
Cathedral Square is ideal for large-scale product launches and
commercial promotions. Situated adjacent to the city's main
shopping centre, Queensgate, it offers the largest open space in
the City's pedestrian area.
Bridge Street, the traditional 'High Street' in Peterborough, provides locations for smaller promotions along its length. Retailers include Costa Coffee, Delifrance, H Samuel, Marks & Spencer, Starbucks Coffee, Waterstones, W H Smith and Woolworths.
To seek availability, telephone the City Centre Services office on 01733 - 452288.
