Built in 1987 and officially opened by Mayor Chas Poynter, Trafalgar Square quickly became a much-loved landmark. Located just a short stroll from Victoria Avenue and the Whanganui River, we’re proud to sit in the heart of a city steeped in rich history, charming heritage, and a vibrant community spirit.

Today, Trafalgar Square remains Whanganui’s only fully undercover shopping centre, offering a relaxed and welcoming experience for all. Our single-level design makes it easy to explore over 20 specialty stores, alongside major retailers Countdown Supermarket and The Warehouse.

We’re all about convenience and comfort. With 400 free car parks (including 215 undercover), and four easy entrances, shopping at Trafalgar Square is simple and stress-free. Whether you’re running errands, catching up with friends, or finding something special, you’ll find everything you need under one roof.

Our commitment is to provide a friendly, safe, and vibrant environment for everyone who visits — because Trafalgar Square isn’t just a shopping centre, it’s a community hub.

Proudly operated by Wanganui Properties 2018 Ltd, Trafalgar Square continues to grow with Whanganui, blending modern convenience with the timeless charm that makes our city so unique.
