Dalton Park is a shopping centre on the outskirts of Murton, County Durham, England. It is the largest outlet shopping centre in North East England.[1]

History

Near the Adidas

The retail park opened in 2003. ING Real Estate owned Dalton Park until it was sold to Peveril Securities in September 2013.[2] A further off-market sale in June 2015 to Janus Henderson UK Property (PAIF), a division of TH Real Estate acquiring the centre for £38 million.[3]

In September 2016, a seven-screen Cineworld cinema opened and in November 2020, Morrisons also opened with an adjoining petrol station.

In June 2017, almost £2 million was spent on refurbishing the centre including redecoration of shop fronts, improvements to the lighting & flooring and landscaping in front of the centre and improved toilets.

In September 2020 it was announced a number of new retailers would be coming to Dalton Park including Costa Coffee and Molton Brown.[4] As of November 2020, all three stores had opened in the centre.

In August 2021, Dalton Park opened a £60,000 accessible play area with features including an extra wide slide, a wheelchair roundabout and easy access ramps.[5]

This includes the X6 & 6 services between Peterlee & Sunderland, the X-lines X10 between Middlesbrough & Newcastle upon Tyne, and the 65 service between Durham & Seaham.[6] The Arriva North East 22 service from Durham to Sunderland serves Dalton Park and takes just over an hour from Durham Bus Station or 25 minutes from Sunderland Bus Station.[7]
