Hidden gem, over three floors with art, crafts, vintage, comics, esoterica, a photographer, and a really excellent cafe. Friendly and welcoming people. Get in reasonably early if you'd like food, i.e. not late afternoon.

Beautiful arcade needs a few more shops and that. Has a super cafe on the ground floor, an art shop, photography studio, wool shop and great tattooist on the second floor. There's also a mix of art, collectibles, comics and antique shops . There's a lift to make all floors accessible and often events organised so check it out.

One of the hidden gems of Huddersfield, four floors high, Discovery arcade has been recently refurbished, including a new roof, not many shops yet, but it will fill up. Situated on Westgate, easy to find with a lovely little cafe. Lift to the upper floors.
