Imagine the ability to shop in large shopping centres featuring all the necessary essentials like Big W and Kmart and yet cross the street to indulge in a totally different bespoke regional retail experience.

Regional retail can be an experience within itself. Create your own trail through towns and villages scouring through artisan goods, giftware, unique fashion, antiques, one-off items or sourcing locally grown or made pieces.

The city of Orange has been a retail hub for the Central West for decades with multiple shopping centres and independent stores catering to all aspects of life.

Surrounding larger villages in Blayney and Cabonne LGAs also benefit from a range of shopping choices including established supermarkets, boutique stores, galleries and a range of businesses servicing the residents in each town.

In recent years, tourists and locals alike have widened their scope enjoying a range of well curated homewares stores, clothing boutiques and specialty stores.

Enjoy weekend outings to the region’s famous farmers markets or poke around lively village markets full of local treasures and characters.
