Like Primark, Matalan offers good value with a huge selection of clothes at quite low prices…read more The store offers menswear, womens wear, and childrens clothes all in one big location so you never have to choose another store for your clothes needs if you feel that way inclined! For sale is your usual jumpers, dresses, t-shirts, going out tops, pajamas, jewellery, officewear and cardigans but as they're so cheap you can buy several pieces at once without breaking the bank. You could even replenish your wardrobe if you felt like it. There is also a homeware section in which you can find enough items do a bit of redecorating. All in lovely styles and equally affordable.

The store is large and has plenty of staff going around tidying it…read more The children's section is fabulous as it has infant, toddler girls, toddler boys sections, younger girls and teenagers seperate sections with a very good range of items. The parking is free and same as that for the brodway shopping centrewith an outdoor toilet facility as well. The aisle are fairly wide hence easy to shop with buggies.

Debenhams in Canterbury is a bit of a hotch-potch as it has to adapt to the old buildings that it…read moreoccupies. Hence you need to make sure you are in the right store for your needs. The main store has a good sized clothes and shoes section for women upstairs, with several franchises. Handbags and accessories are downstairs with menswear. The children's department, is in a separate building, behind the main store. This is where you can buy school uniform and trendier casual wear by Red Herring and John Rocha. The bathroom and soft furnishings department is across the road.

Debenhams in Canterbury is a bit of a labyrinth. the different departments are not only on…read moredifferent floors but spread over different locations in the high street. The quality of products in this store is mostly very good and if you can find the crypt restaurant (it's downstairs from mensware) I can highly recommend the breakfasts.

Shopping in designer outlets just isn't what it used to be. For one thing, things just aren't that…read morecheap these days. I remember getting three tops for a tenner, but not any more. And then there is the fact that the stores are not what I would call 'designer', branded maybe, but 'brand outlet' doesn't have the same appeal does it? This particular shopping park has gone downhill in recent years. The only thing I now buy here are Yankee candles. Lots of the shops that used to draw me in have disappeared. Oh, and you have to pay to park which always irks me slightly.

I agree with The Style PA that this is a branded, rather than a designer, outlet. The one shop I…read morehave time for though is TM Lewin. They have a good range of mid-market suits, shirts & ties at reasonable prices. Quality stuff - silk, cotton and wool only. I think I paid £175 recently for a St James patterned suit and, even though I say it myself, it looks rather classy.......it's not Austin Reed, my brand of choice (BoC), but they don't-gotta-shop-here!!!

Some great shops inside Chequers including a large Boots, New Look and bhs. Also have a great…read morebutcher, JC Rook and a wide range of other outlets including TJ Hughes, Mark One, Next, Miss Selfridge, Superdrug, Morgan Outlet etc. You can find most things you need and the good thing is it's all under cover so you can shop even if it's pouring. It's in the centre of Maidstone so you are supporting your local economy father than venturing to an out of town shopping centre too.

Ripped off by a boy dealing with Parking Charges, I'll never go back. Once bitten etc etc. Used to…read moreuse the Centre monthly for a wide range of purchases, including some food, clothing, shoes and toiletries. But I had to pay a surcharge having lost my "car park chip" which I had just paid for by Card, £1.50. Couldn't go back up to the 5th floor to get it, v bad ankle. The boy didn't care, he read from his script. So I paid another £5 just to get out. Bye bye Chequers, I'll give Fremlin Walk a go when my ankle heals up, or maybe Tunbridge Wells.

Easy to get to off the High Street. Usually busy and a bit untidy but ok. Cheap clothes.read more

Jane Norman is a unique ladies clothes shop with a lovely selection of original, well designed…read moreclothes. They are a very girly shop and predominately offer items with a certain floral theme. You'll be hard pressed to find a item that isn't pink or have a floral theme, it is possible however. Selections can be quite large depending on the size of the store, with offerings such as jumpers, dresses, t-shirts, cardigans, going out tops, pajamas and jewellery all with that little Jane Norman Touch. The clothes are always very pretty and you'll be proud to wear them, one example I could offer could be a turquoise and black number covered in a design made by glitter. I wanted to buy it as soon as I set my eyes on it and can say I have never found anything like it in any other fashion shop. Prices are high street but can quickly mount up especially if you're buying several items at once but it's worth it!

Jane Norman is located along Fremlin Walk. It is a fairly good sized shop, which sells just ladies…read morefashionable clothes. I have never really been a fan of Jane Norman, I found it very expensive for what you're getting, however after a recent shopping trip to Maidstone Jane Norman I had a little look and I found lots of lovely bits, and all reasonably priced too. The store is not massive, but you never feel there isn't a lot of room to look around. Jane Norman doesn't just sell ladies clothes, they sell lots of lovely accessories, including belts, handbags, fashion jewellery and sometimes night clothes, but I find those only out around Christmas time. I have had two lovely leather handbags from Jane Norman and they are great quality and look more expensive than what they actually are. The staff in the Maidstone store are very friendly and helpful and the store is always kept in a very tidy condition.

This H&M has the most little menswear department, ever. Thus it's really tight in the underground…read more(menswear-ground) but the womenswear department is huge, you have plenty of choice with mirror everywhere. And it made some renovation, almost new! And as you know, H&M comes with little price ;)

Excellent owner, kind, approachable. The shop is exactly what people need in this area…read more The products are for general consumption, toys, drinks, magnets, touristic products, etc. I highly recommend this shop to everyone. Wonderful shop, very nice manager.

This shop is one of my favourite places to visit in Hastings! Situated on Castle street, the shop…read moreis conveniently central and close to the beach, and hence stocks plenty of beach parafanalia: sun hats, sunglasses, beach mats, buckets and spades etc. But this stock isn't what attracts me - they also sell a wide range of completely random stuff, and I never know what's going to be on offer from one month to the next. I still wistfully recall the time when they were selling beautiful butterfly hairclips at a pound for a dozen - I wish I'd really stocked up, as I've never found them anywhere since! If you're looking for plastic toy guns, make-it-yourself airplanes, loo brushes and sunglasses, then this is the shop for you!
