Debenhams is always my first stop when i'm looking for anything. They sell menswear, perfume, bags…read moreand jewellery downstairs, as well as having a Game in the store too, then up the escelator (or lift) to womenswear, homewear, underwear and kids wear. They have a cafe too, up a fllight of stairs from womenswear, or up in the lift. The womenswear section has a dorothy perkins, wearhouse, principals and oasis as well as the Debenhams brands such as Rocha John Rocha, Red Herring and my favourite, Julien Macdonald. They regularly have sales of upto 70% off, and it's definately woth catching these early for quality items at bargain prices. The Debenhams Classic section of the store is great for cheap basics, although these items aren't the most beautiful ever, they will be the start of a staple wardrobe. I recently bought a grey pencil skirt for less than £10. It's perfect for work! There is a free personal shopper in the lincoln store, who you can book in advance. She's very good, knowing quickly what will suit you, and she's not at all pushy like some sales women are. She's not intimidating either, I went to her after i put on a lot of weight, i'd gone upto a size 18/20 and didn't know what suited me anymore and she was so kind and patient and showed me so many ways to dress up basic items so i could have a whole new wardrobe without spending much (she even offered to take me out and show me lincoln because i said i'd just moved!) It's a lovely big store, and although it's not really cheap, when the sales are on, some real bargains can be had. They're also very accommodating when it comes to returns of faulty goods etc.

Situated in St Marks Close to the city centre and the university is one of my favourite department…read morestores. It has a massive range of products; perfumes and cosmetics, watches, jewellery, clothes - mens, womens and childrens, lingerie, toys and games, household goods - cutlery, pots, pans, fabrics, in fact all the sorts of things you'd expect to find in a department store. In Grimsby we have a rather nice House of Fraser Store but I do prefer to come to Lincoln to go to Debenhams because it has everything House of Fraser have and more, it's also laid out better - it almost has a bazaar feel to it with lots of little nooks and crannies where bargains are often to be found, the staff are great too. I must not forget to mention the store restaurant - it blows most other department store restaurants away. The choice is pretty good and the prices aren't bad at all. The layout is pretty good and it is fairly sizeable too, so even when it's busy you can usually find a table and the staff are brilliant - which when you've got a child with you who suddenly decides they are hungry you need fast helpful service and that's exactly what you get.

Although there have been many empty units in the center for some time, It has recently seen more shops open in the center. There is a large security team for such a small center who seem to think that they are gods and do nothing other than stand in the enterance flirting with ladies. Primark, ELC, Top shop, New look, 3, O2, la senza, bay, clintons and the gift company are just a few of the shops in here. The center itself is bright and clean, nicely decorated. I did notice they had their christmas decorations up far too long. The enterance from the high street can be very slippy when wet.

It is large and spacious, with a mezzanine section housing menswear and homewares upstairs. There's a lift available, and loads of free parking. My main gripe is having to use £1 coin for a trolley. In most stores they'll lend you one, but in Lincoln you're stuffed if you don't have cash on you! Very annoying if, like me, you were planning on filling it with bargains and end up having to carry everything over your arm. Such a minor issue but major inconvenience, so be warned: take a quid with you!
