Northampton's market square is one of Britain's largest and most historic dating back to 1235. The market square is linked to Abington Street, a major shopping area which is pedestrianised at the western end. There are also two shopping centres in the town centre, the Grosvenor Centre, and Market Walk, which was constructed in 1988. St James Retail Park is a large shopping precinct just south of the town centre. There are also out-of-town retail parks like Weston Favell Shopping Centre, and Riverside Retail Park in the east of the town, as well as Sixfields in the west. Each precinct has a range of high street shops, department stores and many smaller individual speciality shops.

Leisure venues include theatre of West End quality at The Royal & Derngate theatre complex on Guildhall Road, and two cinema complexes with Cineworld at Sixfields and Vue at Sol Centre.
