It is on the site of the old market but was been updated and opened, with the new name, in 2009. There are many shops including opticians, travel agents, jewellers, gift outlets, and a book shop too. Quite useful but could do with a few more interesting and inspiring shops.

I remember when Angel Place Shopping Centre first opened in the mid 1980's. The shopping centre was…read moreopened by Roland Rat an then was opened a second time by the Queen when she visited Bridgwater a few months later! Angel Place seemed pretty modern back in the 80's and it hasn't really been updated since then the flags and signs outside are faded and the plants outside are usually dead looking! The centre is on 2 levels with glass lifts up to the toilets and car parks. Shops in Angel place include Iceland, Wilkinson's, Adams, Superdrug, a Card Warehouse. The centre also has a shauls bakery and a cafe called Angels Cafe

It's an aesthetically pleasing, modern building with the shops partially covered by what look like massive tents above. There's a large, sometimes supervised play area here aswell in one corner (for up to 12 years old). It's not just shopping here though. There's a nine screen Odeon cinema and a large food court with Mcdonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, Costa Coffee, Starbucks and others aswell as another children's play area. It's a great spot popular with adults and teenagers alike and you can easily kill a couple of hours wandering round everywhere. As well as clothes shops, it's also got sports shops, music shops, mobile phone shops and pretty much everything you could want. All at affordable prices too.

Trinity House is a department store in the heart of Axminster, with great customer service and a…read moregood range of different items from duvets to luggage. It has a sizeable clothing department with good quality clothes, with brands like Eastex; I was particularly impressed with the range of men's polo shirts, expensive, but just something a little different. The cookware department of Trinity House has a vast range of items for the kitchen: saucepans, utensils, tea-towels, appliances etc. Arguably the best department in what overall is a great store, a little dated in parts maybe, but a purveyor of quality items nonetheless.

I like this branch of Debenhams, particularly the basement fashion floor…read more I usually shop here after Christmas when I have vouchers to spend and enjoy shopping for clothes and looking around the branches of Oasis, Warehouse, Dorothy Perkins, Jane Norman and Red Herring in this store. There are usually bargains to be found. It has a reasonable restaurant on the top floor which does cheap meals and has a view over the park behing the store.

My favourite section is on the lower ground floor and it is where they have the younger style female clothes with shops like Oasis, Dorothy Perkins and Warehouse, they have great sales on in here and it is well worth coming in for a rummage. This is also where I had my wedding list when I got married. They provide a great wedding list service where they send you off around the shop and you can scan everything you want for wedding presents then people register on-line for gifts and Debenhams send it all to you at the end, it couldn't be easier and was great fun!

This is really about the market.it's pretty incedible. Huge!!!…read moreThere are so many stalls (all under cover) that you really can't take it in at one go. Needs several visits. Now my mother brought me up not to be greedy - but markets have an effect on me, especially plant stalls, silver, faric and leather goods. There is every thing from bongs to veggies, bags to embridery threads, arts and crafts, gosh probably a beer stall too. Most of the vendors are very friendly - I always find plant sellers are on my planet! Some are a little indifferent but at least that's not going to ruin the fun. You don't need to leave lots of dosh behind, browsing is fun. And theres a couple of good pubs just nearby!

However it seems in recent years the turnover of shops has been quite high with shops often opening and closing and being replaced with other shops quite quickly That said its often interesting to see what shop next fills the gaps. The market contains a wide range of goods and the stall holders are always friendly and can answer my questions. There is a stall selling all types of material, the music one, one selling smoking implements and lots more. I enjoy looking round the music exchange one becaus you never know what to expect!
