Occasions are located on Market Cross Opposite Heaven and Home. Although there is no parking…read morefacilities, there are several Pay and Display car parks in the town. Occasions opened about a year ago and have established themselves as a quality, but competitive bridal wear retailer. Occasions have a very relaxed atmosphere where the staff will take the time to show you the range of bridal gowns and accessories. Within the shop you will find almost everything you would need to organise and prepare for your wedding needs. A close friend of mine got married a few months ago and visited Occasions and was surprised by the selection of goods available. Bridesmaid's dresses for children were half the price to buy than to order from brochure companies, granted they may be designer brands but they seemed just as nice. You can also buy or hire wedding dresses, and suits for grooms including top hats. There are flower displays, cake designs, shoes and accessories. The only thing I thought let Occasions down from the shop frontage, but don't be put off it is really nice shop and well worth a visit.

Sainsbury's is one of the 4 big supermarkets in the country. Originally opened in 1869 the first store in Drury Lane soon paved the way to over 500 supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide. The new store in Selby seems to be doing well at the moment. Tesco prices have got silly; Morrison is good for offers, leaving Aldi the winner but with little choice. By default that leaves Sainsbury's in quite a good position. I like Sainsbury's ethics, their carrier bags are not dished out, and their stand on free-range products leads the way. They have improved their basic range and I like the meal planners and recipes.oh and Jamie Oliver's a bit fit too :)
