A big Sainsbury's, a 6-screen cinema, a McDonald's and all the everyday shops under one roof on the edge of Dungannon — free to browse, free to park, and dry whatever the sky's doing.

  • What you'll do — do the weekly shop at the Sainsbury's superstore, tick off the practical stops (Boots, Argos, Home Bargains, Poundland, Card Factory, Screwfix), grab a coffee, and catch a film at the 6-screen Omniplex without moving the car.
  • How long — a shop and a coffee is an hour or two; add a cinema screening and lunch and you've filled a rainy afternoon.
  • Cost & parking — free to browse, and over 360 free parking spaces with disabled and parent-and-baby bays and free EV charging points. You only pay for what you buy, eat and watch.
  • Come ready — mind the hours: it's the everyday centre, so Monday and Tuesday close at 5:30pm, the late nights are Wednesday to Saturday to 9pm, and Sunday is 1pm–6pm only.
  • Food — this is practical rather than a food-court day: McDonald's, Greggs and Costa plus the big Sainsbury's café. Honest steer — it's handy rather than a destination for dinner.
  • Set expectations before you drive. This is Dungannon's useful, do-the-jobs centre — a supermarket, a cinema and the practical shops — not a fashion mall or a wet-weather playground. It shines as the dry, park-once anchor for a Dungannon day, paired with somewhere greener nearby.
Plan your visit

Just turn up — it's free, and open 7 days

No tickets, no booking — pull into the free car park and walk in. Centre hours are 9am–5:30pm Monday and Tuesday, 9am–9pm Wednesday to Saturday, and 1pm–6pm Sunday. The Sainsbury's superstore, the Omniplex cinema and McDonald's keep their own, longer hours, so you can shop, eat and catch a film well past the smaller shops. Individual stores set their own times, and hours shift on bank holidays and around Christmas — check the centre's website before a special trip.

Set expectations before you drive:

This is Dungannon's practical everyday centre — a big supermarket, a cinema and the useful shops — rather than a fashion mall or a wet-weather play centre. It earns its place as the free, park-once, dry anchor for a Dungannon day out, best paired with somewhere greener nearby.

The story

The everyday heart of shopping in Dungannon

The Oaks Centre sits on Oaks Road on the edge of Dungannon, off the A45 — the kind of covered, park-once centre that quietly does the town's everyday jobs. A big Sainsbury's superstore anchors it, and around it sit the practical names most families run through in a week: Boots, Argos, Home Bargains, Poundland, Card Factory, Screwfix, the Post Office and more, all on one level and out of the rain.

What lifts it above a plain retail park is the Omniplex cinema tucked in alongside. The building had been the town's cinema for years; Omniplex took it on and gave it a reported £3m refurbishment, reopening in 2016 with six screens and reclining rocker seats. That's the trick that turns a shop into a proper little outing — do the messages, grab a McDonald's or a coffee, and settle in for a film, all without moving the car from one of the 360-odd free spaces.

It's honest to say what this isn't: it's not a glossy fashion mall or a wet-weather play centre, and the food is handy rather than a night out. But as the free, dry, easy anchor for a Dungannon day — paired with a walk at Parkanaur or a browse at The Linen Green a few minutes down the road — it does exactly what a good local centre should.
