From pretty and feminine to business chic and comfortable-casual to glamorous party girl. Helena is one of the most delightful ladies I've ever met and is certainly quite the opposite of a pushy seller. It is possible to spend a very long time indeed in here sifting through the rails, mentally rebuilding your entire wardrobe! One of my all time favourite clothes shops!

Be wise is a great store when buying childrens school uniforms…read more This shop is cheaper than most and gives you lots of choice. You can buy an entire uniform for £££'s less here. Although the shop does not look great which can put a lot of people off. You just have to brave the storm and go in. What have you got to loose? At present the economy is slowing so why not save your pennies and get the stuff you need cheaper. Located next to BHS in the city centre B-wise occupies a large store with two levels. For back to school wear you should give b-wise a try. They have shirts, trousers, blazers and the rest which is cheaper than everywhere else. They also have normal tshirts and jog bottoms too. Socks a plenty and pretty much every other piece of clothing too. So give b-wise a try and see if you can find it cheaper somewhere else, i pretty much guarantee you wont. 4 stars as staff could eb slightyl more happier!

Raid shoes is one of those little gems in the world where you can get both great prices, great…read morechoice and great service. Something that this day in age is slowly dwindling away. Raid has a lot of choice available for both men and women. With shoes/boots and trainers all available in this small ish shop. They have really competitive prices too. Newer stock is obviously priced accordingly but they do have some sale items and older stock gets reduced. If you go in when tis is happening you will will probably find a great bargain. They sell many known brands such as Rocket dog, Firetrap and Replay. The staff are friendly and do help you out as much as possible. Great location too as its in west orchards just as you get off the escalator. Raid usually always ahs people in it. Very rarely is it empty if ever. 5 stars for a great shop offering great value, service and choice, one of the best in the city.

Coventry market is (a) bazaar. There are a number of stalls with all manner of goods. Ranging from…read moreexotic produce (dragon-fruit, raw papaya) to fine cut meat and fish. There's halal butcher on site as well. Along with (relatively) fresh food, there is a good deli with good selection of cheese at the back. There's a sweet shop for the kids. You can get any African related goods, sundries and sauces (like banana flour?). The Chinese stall has most of your Asian basics. The Algerian guy in his glass box has most of your Mediterranean related goods (Turkish-Greek-Italian etc.). You have an excellent selection of Indian food-related items. There is also the flea market which takes up half the market space. I tend to stick to the food. The flea market goods are usually cheap, but not always value for money. Often cheap imports from who knows where. It is good for some things, Thermal socks I bought seem ok. The silk flowers seem in fine form too. I'd steer towards basic items - where price does not affect quality so much. Here it is a race to the bottom in terms of price point, so do not expect a fancy hipster farmers market. This is a classic Marketplace where you come from your weekly shop. The trick here is that you need to apply a bit of sense. Fruit that is out of season is going to be 1. expensive or 2. a cheap import that tastes terrible or rots in a day. If you use your good judgement you can walk a way with good haul for decent price. Most produce and meat is around Tesco-Sainsbury prices but the quality is definitely better. We (a young couple) do our weekly shop in about 50 pounds. That's fruit/veg and about 3 kilos of meat and other sundries like pasta, sauces, spices. There's parking at the multi story in the lower precinct. It's not that expensive. If you need other bits and bobs e.g. Milk, Iceland is right out front. It's not the most glamorous place in the world, but I look forward to my weekly visits.

It is no secret that I am a fan of a market and this one never fails to please. A very large indoor…read moremarket situated in the city centre, there is plenty of variety to choose from. Fantastic quality fruit and veg (including more exotic, hard to find items), luggage, clothing, vintage records, meat and fish, groceries, costumes, toys, takeaway food, shoe repairs and key cutting are to name but a few. I would definitely recommend shopping here over the supermarkets, the quality is better and you'll also probably make a saving. The reason this falls short of 5 stars is that the camaraderie that I've found at other markets is missing, resulting in a slightly stale atmosphere when I think the whole point of coming to a place like this is because it is usually more jolly than your high street store!

The store is opposite boots and next door to body care in the clock towers shopping centre.

Jaides Stage studios is a brilliant organisation in Rugby, Warwickshire, not only is this a…read moreperforming arts school but also a registered charity (no 1124316) that aims to offer free places or subsidized classes to various children within the community, including under privileged, the disadvantaged, low academic achievers, children whose parents receive low incomes, special needs and the black and ethnic minorities. I first came in contact with Jaides over two years ago, when my little boy was just coming up to five years old and myself and my husband decided we wanted him to have a out of school hobby that would help him gain confidence and also something that he would enjoy. My husband came up with all the usual a daddy normally does, footy, kickboxing, karate, Rugby..... But I tried to think more about what did he like doing. He like many children loved singing and dancing, he was not especially brilliant at it or anything (the gene of the two left feet was passed on from his daddy) but I thought why not try it. I had a look on the internet for a dance school in rugby and came up with Jaides website, so I gave the number a call and it was the best phone call I have ever made. I got through to a wonderful lady called Sandra Ellery, (whom is Jaides mum) she was so helpful, not only did she talk me through everything they had to offer but also said to me, that she knows what children are like and they can start clubs and go off them really quickly so she would offer my son two free classes to see how he felt about it. The following week we turned up at the studios, and upon arriving I was given loads of information, timetables, programs of shows and festivals they had taken part of and also just a really lovely welcome. We had turned up about 30 minutes before the street dance class started, so after our welcome I was told I could now leave.......OMG!!!! I can not leave my baby....I can remember thinking, but Sandra advised me that although I was clearly anxious about this, my some would be in safe hands and also this would give him the independence and confidence that I desired for him. I went downstairs and sat in the reception area, and I can say it was the longest hour ever!!!! But 1030 came and down bounced my son with the biggest smile on his face ever...sticker on his shirt.... And a jelly sweet in his hand!!! He was so happy, he told me that he had been dancing, skipping, and having lots of fun and that Jaide was brilliant and he had a sticker and a sweetie for being such a good boy. Seeing him like this made me realize that this class was going to do wonders for him. Well, as the years have gone on my son has been in numerous shows, festivals, fete's etc, he has gained two qualifications and numerous certificates and has not only made him independent, confident and also good at dancing, the biggest thing is that Jaide tries to teach her students the correct way to behave while in class, while someone to talking to you etc etc, and I can say that all her students show such maturity and great manners. **How Jaides got started* Jaide had always done lots of dancing, singing, performing etc from a very young age and worked very hard at her skills and attended classes nearly every day. At the age of 14 she wanted to be a teacher but instead of this being a girls fantasy she put it into practice, to begin with she just taught street dance, but she did not stop here she then continued with the help and support of her mother to complete her a levels, to train in all forms of dancing and pass all her teaching qualifications so she could offer more classes to the children of Rugby. When I look at what she has done, I just feel amazed, she is still only 22, but when all her friends were going out clubbing etc, she was teaching so many children so many classes, and yet I have spoke to her about this and she never regrets it, she feels privileged to be living her dream and sharing her love of the arts with different children in the community. She really is a great role model and inspiration to many children, and the kids absolutely love her to bits *What they offer* Well as I stated before they offer numerous opportunities not only for children whom are looking for a hobby or qualifications in some of the arts but also to more underprivileged children Jaides offers a numerous amount of classes; I have listed a selection of the classes on offer; IDTA Freestyle/Street Dance for ages 4-6 yrs/7-10 yrs/10-12 yrs/12-15yrs/15+ yrs and also adult classes. IDTA Ballet Preparatory, Primary, Grade 1 - Grade 6 and Pointe classes and adult classes. IDTA Tap Preparatory, Primary, Grade 1 - Grade 5 and adult classes.

They have a great staff whom obviously look after and care fgor the children very well, their costumes were fantastic and also so sweet, some of the little ones were adorable. I never realized also they are a charity until seeing their stand at the fayre, they have done a lot of work in the area also, which I think the locals are really proud and protective of them because of. I have enquires already about my daughter attending and I think I will defiantly be enrolling her when he is old enough, the staff are very imfformative and were really helpful and kind to me, especially being a dad asking about the dance classes, they made me feel really welcome and at ease. They do numerous classes, all the standard ones like ballet, tap modern etc but also things like drama and cheerleading They are defiantly a great asset to our community.
