They are friendly, helpful and the clothes are very reasonably priced for the quality and style.

An unusual kind of specialist shop to find in a small town area, this is as good and perhaps even…read morebetter than similar places in the city. The shop is well signposted from the road but unfortunately is a little difficult to get to due to having a narrow staircase to the main shop. The building in which the shop is housed is bedecked by brilliant decorations and displays highlighting what they can offer, though, and it is very impressive. I first went to the shop before a party and I was astonished by the sheer amount of materials and clothes and fun accessories available. Comparing it to two major retailers in Newcastle I'd have to say this has much more and much better quality stock! The shop is actually a bit crowded and a bit messy with lots of things piled up on top of each other and thrown into baskets and tubs. Kids will be absolutely amazed if you take them here though, as it is like an Aladdin's Cave! There are rope and curtain style changing areas if you have come for a full outfit. The staff will wait on you hand and foot until you find what you are looking for. Prices are very reasonable and there is always something cheap that will do the trick for a special night out!

Quite a large shop with plenty for space. Everything from home wares to clothing, shoes and…read moreornaments. Very close to shopping precinct area, one of the few shops left open.no parking outside but a large free car park close by. Well worth a look in, if passing.

No idea why this place exists. No idea. Plans for it must have been drawn up in the 70s. Throughout…read moremy childhood there was this notice on the pub next to the halifax saying plans were underway, and they came up with this false shopping street, all outside, so you get rained on, and basically all the proper shops that were in the High Street or the Castle Shopping centre are now here. It's busy but the High Street used to be busy. Back in Stockton recently, for the first time ever there are boarded up properties ON THE HIGH STREET. What the hell??? In real terms there are a lot more failed businesses, but those premises get charity shops stuffed inside them. Ok, Wellington Square has basically changed the layout of Regent street behind the High Street, so that portion of it no longer exists. A historic grade 3 building, and the listed Baptist Tabernacle, featured on Songs of Praise, were both demolished. In return, we get an Hmv, an extended Debenhams, an extended Marks, a cheap bookshop and an H&M. I bought a cheap McLovin t-shirt from HMV so i suppose I'm a bit of a hypocrite. Because this place now has its own large carpark, I think the rest of the high street is doomed, and will probably revert to being housing, which may just save it. Stockton should be a string of boutique shops like Yarm or Northallerton but the council doesn't have the imagination. Shame.

There's a nice selection of shops in Wellington Square River Island, Top Shop and H&M for fashion, HMV and Game for entertainment, WH Smiths and The Works for books, Cafe Nero and Greggs for food and drinks, Superdrug and Sally's for hair and beauty as well as several mobile phone shops, jewellry shops, Rawcliffes, Lidl, Claires Accessories and an entrance to Debenhams. There's also a hairdressing salon and Public Toilets. The walkway is clean, with several litter bins available to use and there are shelters along either side of the walkway to help shoppers cope with the rain a little better.

So pleased I called in. Was looking for a gift and the owner was very friendly and chatty and helped me with my choice. Got a gorgeous gift at a reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, the bags are to die for. Lots of lovely costume jewellery too. Just hope the rest of the town gives this place a chance too.
