There's plenty…read moreof car parking (small multi-story), an ATM, and a few other retailers including a jewellery shop, chemist and clothes shops etc. Previously there have been a couple of cafes/ sit-in eateries but on my most recent visit during August 2017, these looked to have closed down. However, there are takeaway pizza and chip shops on-site (outside on the lower level). With such a central location in Armagh, right beside The Mall (a beautiful green park), this is a really convenient spot. You'll not spend very long in it because it's so petite, but you'll find most things you need.

There are a few claw machines that clearly scam you, but I suppose alot of store have that and it's not really their brand, but I still don't like it. I really enjoy the selection of stores in rushmere and restaurants too! Especially no.7 which I definitely recommend. This is a great place to take your children or younger ones to because it is so interactive for them and has tons of stores they would enjoy! 9/10 definitely recommend.

You'll not go hungry either as there are quite a few cafes including Starbucks and Costa. A McDonalds is also onsite and although not a place I choose to visit often, I am partial to a cooling McFlurry after a long day shopping. Be warned though, Rushmere can be hectic and busy, so get there very, very early if you want to avoid the crowds.

Spires Retail Park is an open air stretch of shops located on the Moy Road just outside central…read moreArmagh. It's easily accessible for both car drivers and pedestrians. A clean, tidy, well maintained retail park which is small with a good range of shops including Lidl, Marks & Spencer Simply Food, Heatons, Iceland, Argos, Sports Direct, Poundland and Peacocks. A Costa Coffee has recently opened too. There's free car parking but Spires is extremely popular so it can sometimes be difficult to get a parking space. I would advise visiting outside of peak times so you're best to go either early morning or late evening. I really like Spires and always find everything I need in it. Not a shopping centre I would travel a large distance from elsewhere to visit but for locals and tourists already in Armagh it's excellent.

There's also a costa coffee, if you need to take a break during your shopping. The only significant problem with this location is parking. The car park is too small and the haphazard parking of some drivers only compounds this problem.

B&M Bargains in Armagh is surprisingly good. Normally I wouldn't buy food or toiletries from low…read morecost stores as they often have limited vegetarian options but I spotted quite a few items I would buy here. They stock a nice range of Original Source shower gels which I love as they are superb quality, vegan, made in the UK, not tested on animals and a bargain at only 99p. Plus there are cooking, curry, BBQ sauces and gravies all suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The selection of food is vast and includes sweets, cereals, biscuits, chocolates, jams, pasta, noodles, soups, tinned food and crisps etc. This particular B&M is large, tidy and well laid out with plenty of space in the aisles for browsing. It's really pleasant to walk around as there's great air conditioning unlike other similar stores which can be stuffy. Staff are also extremely helpful and efficient. In-store music is not irritating, which is a huge bonus. I enjoy browsing Armagh B&M and can spend ages pottering around it. Everything household and gardening related is stocked at low prices. Ornaments, curtains, picture frames, mirrors, cooking utensils, pots, pans, ironing boards, toasters, kids toys, storage boxes, garden furniture, bed linen, cleaning and pet products just to mention a few items. Definitely the best bargain store I have visited to date.

Some people are wise and if they need Christmas decorations will buy them after Christmas when…read moresales are on. This was my reason for visiting Alexanders of Markethill today. Not for myself I might add, as I don't even bother putting up a Christmas tree, however a friend wanted to stock up for next year. Alexanders of Markethill is a large, beautiful household items store over two floors with an upstairs cafe. Throughout the year it sells a range of dinnerware, cookware, home accessories and offers an interior design service. Coming up to Christmas more than half the shop is taken over with Christmas stock including trees, decorations and artisan foods. It's fantastic to walk around and the Christmas items are stunning - some of the best I've seen. However, even with a sale on, I still think it quite expensive. For example my friend purchased a Christmas wreath and a decorative thingymajiggy for across the top of her fireplace - even in the sale this totalled over £110.00! I would never spend such money on a couple of Christmas decorations no matter how beautiful. Anyhow, if you've money to burn you'll love it. My favourite items were a couple of reindeer made out of what looked like papier-mâché newspaper cuttings - to be honest I'd be inclined to have a go at making them myself rather than buy them. Therefore for me, a trip to Alexanders would be more of an inspirational field trip, however for others it's a great place to pick up some fabulous, festive items. Unfortunately I didn't try the cafe but it was busy which I take as a good sign, so I will definitely return to try the cafe and have another browse. I might even be tempted to purchase some wine glasses or pots and pans on my next visit...

Now certainly Alexanders is an impressive store, in fact there are 2 stores in Markethill, one selling furniture and the other household items which includes the cafe on the 1st floor, in all my visits I could honestly say I have never found a bargain, the stock is overpriced, but yet I still visit the store, as I prefer to shop with local traders where possible, but my pocketbook is not bottomless so value for money always wins out! I stand by my original review, the cafe is expensive and the few times I have eaten in it were not great. Alexanders need to drop their prices a bit and buy bigger tea pots.
