(In which you have to spend £2 to park in - refundable in Asda when spending £5) This is a great shop to get the essential clothes at a reasonable price.

The Peacocks store is located in Parc Trostre Llanelli. It has plenty of free parking around. It is…read moreone of the newer additions to Parc Trostre. The store is large and has a good selection of womens, mens and childrens clothing as well as stuff for the home. The prices are reasonable, however I do find some of the clothes a bit plain. I would not say clothes from this shop/ brand are the most hard wearing however I would say they are great everyday wear especially for the kids. They stock a good range of essentials ie socks, underwear and night wear. The staff are polite and helpful and I would recommend the store for anyone shopping on a budget.

There are loads and loads of shops in the Quadrant like HMV, Game , W H smiths , Clinton cards and Debenhams. It can get pretty packed out with shoppers at peak times and especially with the run up to christmas. At christmas there is usually a lovely christmas tree with lots of decorations which make it look really nice. The shopping centre always looks clean and tidy and you will always find a cleaner pottering around.

The Quadrant is like many indoor shopping centres across the UK. It mostly houses chain stores like…read moreHMV, Clarks, WHSmiths, Faith and so on and so forth. Shops you find in every town in Britain. The Quadrant itself is quite pleasant though, it has a predominently glass roof which allows it to be very bright and airy inside. There's a gallery cafe which looks out on to the main concourse of the shopping centre which is great for people watching. The bus station also comes out of one end, so finding it is very easy, and also you won't have far to carry bags to get a bus. Or even to get to your car if you choose to park in the NCP which also adjoins the Quadrant. You can also get to Swansea Market via an entrance in the Quadrant. The largest store by far is Debehams, which is a large department store and takes up almost an entire wing of its own. ANECDOTE: I was sick on the doors of Debehams one Christmas as I was shopping for presents and very rapidly came down with a virus. There are public toilets (free) upstairs which are clean and well maintained. The buidling is decorated according to the seasons, and a large Christmas tree is the focus during the winter.
