Shopping in Lisburn: Bow Street, Market Square and local specialists

Explore Lisburn’s shops, from city-centre fashion and homeware to specialist retailers and food halls.

Start with Bow Street and Market Square

Lisburn's centre mixes national names with independent retailers and specialist services. Bow Street Mall provides an indoor shopping option, while Bow Street, Market Square and adjoining streets make it possible to combine several different kinds of shop in one visit.

The mall's own directory lists fashion, footwear, homeware, beauty, gifts and food businesses, including Primark, Dunnes Stores, Menarys and Belleek Living. Use its current store list for the latest mix rather than relying on an old retailer list.

Fashion, jewellery and gifts

Jonzara's Bow Street branch combines women's clothing and footwear with home accessories and gifts. Its Lisburn selection includes brands such as Olsen, Part Two, Kaffe and Tamaris, alongside fragrance and gift ranges.

Margaret Forbes Jewellery on Market Square specialises in gemstones, diamonds and bespoke designs. Remodelling, repairs, valuations and pearl restringing make it relevant to caring for an existing piece as well as choosing something new. Nearby Smyth Patterson adds homeware, gifts and a wedding registry to the square's shopping choices.

Practical purchases and specialist shops

Jim's DIY at Smithfield stocks hardware, decorating supplies, tools and garden products for smaller household jobs and larger projects. Smyth Patterson's departments extend to electrical appliances, furniture, lighting, garden goods and barbecues.

Some specialist retailers sit beyond the main shopping streets. CustomPro Golf at Lisburn Enterprise Centre combines equipment sales with club fitting, repairs and electric trolley support. Checking the actual address helps plan a visit to these businesses alongside a trip into the centre.

Food shopping and a break

Country Kitchen on Sloan Street makes bread, pastries, savouries and celebration cakes, with a restaurant and takeaway counter. Carnbrooke's butchery and food hall is on Ballynahinch Road, offering meat, prepared meals and products from local suppliers.

A coffee, lunch or evening meal can turn a shopping trip into a fuller visit. Lisburn Square and Railway Street have different dining options, while individual profiles give the business's own website and contact details. Opening hours, stock and booking arrangements are best checked with the retailer before making a special trip.
