The building used to be an old brewery and it is now quite a major tourist attraction in the town, with a number of facilities under one roof. The main tourist draw here is the Timewalk museum attraction and with a touristy family friendly pub right opposite it at the entrance to Brewers Quay, you can imagine that this place gets pretty crowded in the summer season. There are a couple of cafes and a range of interesting shops in the centre selling arty and crafty products. These small independent stores make an interesting visit whether you are a tourist or a local and are an ideal place to buy a slightly different souvenir or interesting gift. Prices are about average for this type of crafty environment. Recommended - but not in the high summer.

When this department store opened it was really a new beginning for shopping in Weymouth and in the…read moreyears since its opening, a host of fashionable big name shops have suddenly opened here. Although this isnt the largest branch of Debenhams out there, it certainly ticks the boxes that any good department store should tick. It is in the town centre so easily accessible by foot and by bus and there is a large car park out the back. There is good disabled access and lifts inside. The range of clothing is excellent in all areas of ladies, mens and childrenswear, there is a good choice of accessories and footwear as well as homewares. Upstairs there is a cafe and a branch of Early Learning Centre which keeps the kids entertained on an otherwise dull shopping trip.

This department store called Debenhams is a rather large looking store based in the centre of…read moreWeymouth town centre. Its located is very close to the carpark and buses. There are two floors to this department store, and each level has different products. Upstairs they have the small coffee shop which can get very busy. The toliets always seem to be broken and there's always a massive queue! Also amongst the top floor they sell childrenware, homeware and some ladies wear. Downstairs they sell ladies, mens and cosmetics and jewellery. The layout inside is always changing and sometimes when you want some help on the shop floor there never is anyone on hand to help or they end up passing you onto someone else from 'that' department, yet they all work under one roof! Overall they do sell 'some' nice items, now and then a bit pricey but throughout the year they do some good sales.

Maybe if they cut down on the food area they would have.

What you expect is what you get at this small town branch of Marks & Spencer. Before the arrival of…read moreDebenhams this was THE department store in the town, but in the years since the towns shopping regeneration, this store seems to have failed to move with the times. Compared with other more up to date retailers, the range here seems mainly tired and old. Geared, in my opinion, towards the tastes of the older population, the clothing lines tend to lean towards the kinds of items that would appeal to pensioners and primarily sensible trousers, jumpers, skirts and blouses are the order of the day. There is a limited range of everything, but even the shop itself looks like it needs a good redecoration and re-organisation to show itself to its best advantage. On the other hand, it does have a location with its main entrance on the main shopping street and rear access from the beachside road.

Being in the heart of town, this shop is easy to get to from both local car parks and buses and is surrounded by a nice mix of other pleasant shopping. The lines stocked by this store are at average price and are aimed at the younger customer with a more high fashion outlook. It sells a good range of going out clothes and jeans but selection for those who are larger in size or petite in height is distinctly lacking. Very little for the older customer - definitely one for the teens to twenties.

If ever you're in Weymouth pop down to Ladybirds in St Alban Street. This place is a treat. Run by…read moreRoma Pye and her sister, Ladybirds is a dress agency but the personal touch here takes it a notch above the ordinary. Attracted by the belly dancing belts outside (a story for another time), I entered a cosy haven full of chat, stories and laughter. Stock is a mixture of never worn chain store stuff and some vintage finds. I spotted no designer labels on the clothing, but then I wasn't looking at the tiny sizes and this isn't London. The trick here is carefully sort through the rails and enjoy every moment. You'll never know what you'll get. Roma also buys in new things for the seasons, which I haven't seen elsewhere. An example were the knitted capes with big buttons that come in several colours, and the shrugs like spider webs. The shop holds clothing, shoes, hats, handbags and the afore mentioned new belly dancing outfits, in a range of sizes. Condition is all good and Roma and her sister are knowledgeable about clothing care, what goes with what, Trinny and Susannah style shaping and so on. They're also amenable to giving good discounts if you buy a quantity. I spent the same amount of money on 5 outfits as I would have done on one in an ordinary shop. A couple of hours and several complete kit-outs later, leaving my bags with Roma to look after (another aspect of her service), I dived tired but happy into the coffee shop across the road for cappuccino and Dorset apple cake. Aah, bliss.

They grabbed my attention last year when the biggest trend among goths and punk's was their zombie unicorn dress. It was $$$, however, if I am going to spend that much money on a nice dress, it better fit my personality. I have a few pieces by them. I don't have as extensive as of a collection as Tripp, however, there are some noteable timeless punk pieces.

There is lots of different variety of clothing to choose from and is clearly marked with sizes on the hangers. The downside I would say is not enough homeware items and the customer service is extremely poor. There's hardly any staff working there, so the queue can be quite a long time. However the clothes are of good value.

They CLAIM, failure to fill an order is not their fault but the centre who pick your products got it wrong. We only ordered 2 things, told they went in 1 parcel, yet told first, left on the Lordy, then they did not issue them as their is a production problem. We ask why no email or phone call .... This is incredible they CLAIM to have lost all our contact details so the store can't have them...doh! A security question is first line of your address and post code. THEY HAVE CONSISTENTLY LIED, TAKEN OUR MONEY, WE HAVE NO GOODS AND NO RESOLUTION EXCEPT, "please re-order" I have a word for them that rhymes with Duck Off.
