This is a gorgeous shop with lots to covet, and beautiful high quality gifts (can be a little…read morepricey). It would appeal to the kind of people who like National Trust goods. Gift ranges include homeware, sweets/chocolates, cuddly toys, nursery. There is a very good range of cards and gift stationery too. The displays are laid out with a discerning eye and service is very good. There is also a fabulous coffee shop at the rear, so all-in-all a most pleasant shopping experience and a lovely shop to have in this historic town.

A wonderful place to buy and sell really good quality children's clothes. The two floors are…read moreabsolutely packed with clothes, shoes, books and toys; it's quite hard to move and push chairs definitely need to stay outside. It's a wonderful place to browse/play and very hard to leave without buying something. The clothes may be used, but are always immaculate and often unusual - Arabella seems particularly keen on French labels.

This shop is like Aladin's Cave with something for everyone. It is much larger than it looks from…read morethe outside and is set over a few different levels. It sells lovely things, from cards, jewellery, purses etc to Christmas gifts and children's nic nacs. You could probably do most of your Chritmas shopping in this one place. The staff are really helpful when you are looking for something and they seem to have a good turnover of stock, so as a frequent shopper there is always something new to look at.

A local institution now! Oh how I remember when it was a small shop and THE place to go for…read morecolourful writing paper and stickers and pens to give your school friends at christmas! Twenty years on, Amica has matured but still fun and quirky. From cheap fun presents for children and teenagers to quality brands of bags, crockery, crystal and homewares for sophisticated adults you can find a present for almost everyone here. Even if you don't need anything just a lovely place to browse in.

I much prefer this EWM to the one in Yeovil…read more The Street shop is situated on the High Street and handily placed next to one of the pedestrian entrances to Clark's Village. Usually has a sale rack tempting in the punters at the entrance. Has a range of skirts, jumpers, blouses, jackets, coats and cardies suitable for the older lady (although some stuff may appeal to younger women too). Gents again have a good range of smart collared casual shirts, jumpers, trousers and socks at a reasonable price. Has the usual 'Bristish' gifts (shortbread, jams, biscuits, toiletries etc), especially around the festive season. It also usually has some great sale bargains after Christmas. Pretty big and nice and welcoming compared to other EWMs that I have been in.

There is a good range available including men's and women's wear and luggage. There is free parking outside the shop and easy accesss.

Absolutely worth a detour if you are in Somerset and like Mulberry…read more This little factory outlet in an old school in Shepton Mallet can sometimes deliver some great bargains. Good selection of handbags, luggage, belts and purses. Clothing is more limited, but still very much worth checking out. At the back of the store there is a small cafe, and some Mulberry fabrics and off cuts for sale. Staff is helpful but nicely relaxed (must be the country air!)

Fabulous little sweet shop, half way up Cheap Street right in the heart of town…read more The window is packed full of traditional style large clear jars with a huge selection of all the traditional favourites that we remember from childhood, and many new flavours too. Inside, the displays of 'penny chew' style shelves are an absolute magnet for children (and grown-up children!) everywhere. For a pound you can come away with a pleasingly large selection of different goodies, just like in days gone by (except back then it would have been sixpence!) In the back of the shop there are the more generic branded confectionary items if you just fancy a Mars Bar or something. I seldom even get that far.. The shop also stocks speciality chocolate made by the Cheddar Chocolate Company, which it extremely tempting. You can get your boiled sweets measured out by the quarter (so can afford to try several different types at a time), and they come in those little white paper bags for an extra traditional touch. Not to mention very ecologically friendly. Probably best avoided by adults around school ending times as children throng to it on their way home. But whilst the little dears are tucked away doing their lessons, then the adults can become kids again and browse and discover wonderful new and old favourites.
