Birstall Shopping Park


Birstall Shopping Park is a shopping park located in Birstall, Batley, West Yorkshire, England. It contains a wide variety of retailers and includes the region's only IKEA store. Adjacent is another retail park, Junction 27 Retail Park, specialising in bulky goods and electronics. The section of the park containing retailers Pets at Home and Homesense is known as Spring Ram Retail Park, and was built slightly later than the rest of the complex, however it is considered as a part of Birstall Shopping Park and is under common ownership.
It is located on the A62 near M62 Junction 27, between Birstall and Gildersome. The town of Morley is located close by, as is the boundary between the City of Leeds and Kirklees. However the park is located wholly within Kirklees. The site is often errenously referred to as being located in Leeds due to its proximity to the border and the number of stores claiming to be trading in Leeds, notably Ikea Leeds.
