About

Sale Central is a compact district centred around the town's main shopping streets and civic buildings. The area is anchored by the pedestrianised section of School Road and the adjacent square, which hosts a regular market. This commercial core is lined with a mix of high street retailers, independent shops, and several supermarkets serving the local community.

The area includes the Waterside Arts Centre, a venue for theatre and exhibitions located by the Bridgewater Canal. This canal, a historic industrial waterway, runs along the western edge of the centre, with a towpath providing a route for walkers and cyclists away from the main retail bustle.
