Shopping Centres · Matterport virtual tours

Put your whole destination on display.

Bring shops, dining and leisure together in one immersive experience. Help visitors discover what is here, find their bearings and plan a trip to your shopping centre or retail quarter.

From online discovery to an in-person visit

Help people see more reasons to visit.

A shopping destination is more than a list of stores. Let people explore the setting, discover independent businesses and see how retail, food and leisure fit together before they arrive.

01 · DISCOVERY

Show the full mix

Give visitors a feel for your shops, cafés, restaurants and shared spaces. Bring smaller businesses into view alongside the names they already recognise.

02 · CONFIDENCE

Make the layout familiar

Show entrances, walkways and key facilities. Help first-time visitors prepare and understand how the different areas connect.

03 · CONNECTION

Support your tenants

Add points of interest that introduce businesses and link to their websites, menus, products or booking pages.

Shopping quarters & multi-business destinations

Explore places with more to discover.

These tours from our portfolio show how connected spaces and individual businesses can be presented as a destination. The same approach can be planned around a shopping centre, arcade or retail quarter.

One destination. Individual stories.

Give each business a place in the experience.

A centre-wide tour can introduce the destination, while individual shop tours let visitors take a closer look. We can plan the presentation around the spaces and tenant permissions available.

  • Store information: introduce tenants with descriptions, photographs and website links.
  • Food & leisure: share menus, booking links and the experiences that encourage a longer visit.
  • Visitor facilities: highlight entrances, lifts, toilets, seating and other useful landmarks.
  • Separate shop tours: link to individual walkthroughs where these have been captured.

HERITAGE & COLLECTIONS

Bring the history into view

Introduce the Willow Museum buildings and collections such as Antiqua Ships. Interactive points of interest can add historical context, archive images and the stories behind the displays.

CRAFT & PEOPLE

Show how it is made

Connect visitors with willow craftsmanship and the people behind it. Workshop information, demonstrations and short videos can add another layer to the walkthrough.

A COMPLETE DAY OUT

Connect the whole destination

Bring the shop, Willow Workshop, Martock Gallery and businesses such as Lemon Tree Coffee Shop, Honeysuckle Hut and Radiant Pilates into the wider story, with relevant information and links.

For shopping destinations and visitor centres with several buildings or businesses, this approach helps tell one connected story. It can introduce the site, highlight the experiences within it and link visitors to individual tours, products, workshops and booking information.

Value for your marketing and leasing teams

Show the destination. Explain the opportunity.

Visitor marketing

Embed the tour on your website, share it in campaigns and add QR codes to printed marketing so people can explore wherever they discover you.

Tenant enquiries

Help prospective occupiers understand the setting and common areas. Available units can be captured separately and linked to leasing information.

Photography & drone imagery

Complement the tour with professional interior and exterior photography. Drone imagery can show the wider setting, where a flight is suitable and permitted.

A plan that works for your centre

Coordinated around your team and tenants.

1. Agree the scope

Map the areas, entrances and businesses to include. Agree access, tenant permissions and the visitor information you want to highlight.

2. Capture at a suitable time

Arrange quieter periods or out-of-hours access where practical. Large destinations can be planned in stages, with a capture schedule agreed in advance.

3. Connect and share

Add the agreed information and business links, review the presentation, then use your tour link, website embed and QR codes across your marketing.

Your questions answered

Useful answers for shopping centres.

Can you capture a large centre or multiple floors?

Yes. We plan the scan route around the size, layout and access available. For larger or more complex sites, linked tours or a phased capture may be the best approach. We will agree the scope before quoting.

Do all the shops need to take part?

No. The main presentation can focus on agreed common areas and shop frontages. Individual interiors can be added where a tenant agrees to access and capture.

Can tenants link to their own websites and offers?

Yes. Interactive tags can include tenant descriptions, images and links to their websites, menus, booking pages or current promotions. Links and text can be updated as information changes.

Will it help visitors find entrances and facilities?

The tour can highlight useful landmarks and show how routes connect. It works alongside your centre map, signage and written access information to help people plan their visit.

Can it help market an empty retail unit?

Yes. A unit can be captured separately and linked from the wider presentation. This lets prospective tenants explore the space and understand its position within the destination before arranging a viewing.

What happens when a tenant or layout changes?

Tenant descriptions and links can be updated. If the physical space or shopfront changes, recapture may be needed to keep the visuals accurate. We can discuss an update plan that suits your centre.

Can you work outside opening hours?

We can arrange an out-of-hours visit where access is available, or use quieter periods agreed with your team. This helps present the centre clearly and reduces disruption to visitors and businesses.

How much does a shopping centre virtual tour cost?

Pricing depends on the area, number of levels, tenant interiors and additional services. View our pricing for an indication, then contact us for a tailored quotation covering your agreed scope and hosting.
