The Ashton Arcades, also known locally as just Arcades, is a medium-sized shopping centre located in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, England. It accommodates 40 stores, over two floors, and a multi-storey car park. There are approved plans for the expansion of the centre which will also re-develop the adjacent bus station and add a tram station for the expansion of Manchester Metrolink. The expansion of the centre will cost £40m and add 180000 sqft of retail space which will more than double the current centre.
