This is a really great shop if you like making things. I usually visit here to get my crochet hooks…read moreor knitting needles if I come across a pattern which I don't have the correct size for. They have an extensive range of yarns as well, but like all wool now it's proportionately much more expensive than it used to be - so sometimes you have to think hard if that Aran jumper is the best present for your nan!! This place stocks materials for loads of other crafts as well, if you like making cards or soft toys or your own clothes you will find something useful! It's a really fun place to browse if you like little bits and bobs for making things and would be a great place to take kids and get them interested in creative activities. If you don't do any crafty stuff you could still go in and talk to the staff, they're always ready with very helpful tips and advice.

The facilities are good and there is lots of room to move around the store - even with a double buggy in hand The facilities in the store such as toilets and changing rooms are first class, and the size of the store means that when buying a big item such as a cot or a pram, you do not have to pick form a catalogue and wait for delivery but can actually test and touch the item you are buying. The pram isle is bigger than many baby shops and the range is excellent Staff have always been helpful and when having to order a specialist part for replacement with a pram unger guarentee I had an excellent experience. I would recommend this store

The market centre is home to the largest covered market in Europe, by that I mean it has a roof..no…read moresides. Then again it is a real find as markets are rapidly vanishing all over the country. So you can browse and bargain in comfort. There are over 300 stalls here, selling everything from fresh fruit and veg, textiles, fish, cheese and vast collections of 'stuff', so you are sure to find something you like. The market has a 700 year old tradition for fine quality, and I would recommend the Red Leicester cheeses, the Melton Mowbray pies (I am told are wonderful) and all the fruit and veg seems fresh and is sold off cheaply at the end of the day. For football fans go to Gary Linekers Dad. Not the name of the stall, but Gary Linekers family have run a fruit and vegetable stall here for a fair few years. Aptly called 'Linekers Fruit and Veg stall', come here to buy fresh products and also to pay your respects to Gary's daddy. A few bric a brac stalls have now crept in..you may find that wonderful find but I doubt it. Some wonderful fabric stalls selling really well priced furnishing and clothing fabrics..often as cheap as wholesale. With over 300 stalls, everyday the market offers a variety of fresh produce and bargains.
