Why it's worth checking out
Charlestown Square sits on Pearson Street at Charlestown, a major hub near Newcastle. One of the region's largest and most popular shopping centres, it's a comprehensive retail-and-lifestyle destination — bringing together major department stores, hundreds of specialty shops, supermarkets, an excellent dining precinct, a cinema and services across a large, multi-level complex.
The appeal is that combination of an extensive range of retailers, services and dining and a convenient Charlestown location, ideal for a full day of shopping, running errands, grabbing a bite or catching a movie. As one of the largest centres in the Newcastle area, it offers just about everything in one spot, making it a genuine go-to for the region.
With a 4.3 rating from more than 6,100 reviews, it's clearly a hugely used part of the area. The retailers, dining, services, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details if you're after something specific or a particular store — though for a day of shopping, a bite or some errands, you can simply head in as part of a visit to Charlestown.
