About The Academy

The centre was developed to fill a gap in the Aberdeen market for quality, upmarket niche shopping. The centre is famous for the unique atmosphere and the high quality fashion not available anywhere else in Aberdeen.

There are three bar restaurants trading daily until midnight. The Academy opens again at 0600 and has one of the longest opening hours for a shopping centre in the UK.

The Academy offers a range of high fashion stores including Attic, Concept and Concept Boutique, stocking a range of exclusive brands including Paul Frank, True Religion, Diesel, Franklyn & Marshall and Fila Gold.

The central courtyard has hosted many superb events: Fashion Shows, World Cup coverage on the big screen, dance displays, live music and entertainers as well as providing al fresco dining in the heart of the city.

Our range of bars, restaurants and cafes, including Enigma, Costa and The Old School House, offer a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a leisurely lunch, a special meal or a drink with friends.
