Not many people have heard of this store if they don't come from Bedford…read more It's quite a random shop in that it sells a huge range of items from older peoples fashion to teenagers fashion, homewear and make up and perfume! They always have good sales throughout the year. It has a cafe and hairdressers in and is spread over 3 floors. This store could be comared to the likes of Debenhams of House of Fraser. This place is ideal for gifts.

I love this shop for grabbing everything I need in one easy go. This shops sells everything, from…read morepet food and groceries to paint and wallpaper. Around Christmas time they start to sell more gift type products which are usually of a named brand so nodody will know that your bargain buy came from Wilkinsons! I have also found the perfume they sell to be very well priced. I would advise anyone who always buys toiletries from Boots to check out Wilkinsons as they sell lots of the same brands but are nearly always cheaper - often quite a lot cheaper! Don't be fooled into thinking this is a small shop - they have an upstairs but the escalator is at the back of the shop. Best thing in here is the pick n mix - VERY cheap compared to places like Woolies!

Wilkinson's is located on the High Street in Bedford so is very easy to get too…read more It is a very large store with two levels and it goes back far too. It sells pretty much everything you need from beauty products, toys, pet food to decorating products and bathroom fittings and everything is at very reasonable prices. It has also started selling food in the last year when before it just used to sell sweets. The store does have a lift but it is hidden away so elderly customers might not know about it and its a shame they do not have a till upstairs too but otherwise i really enjoy shopping here as i can get anything i need.

I personally wouldn't class this as a shopping centre - I would imagine that to be something like…read more100 different shops to the ones accessible by the street. This is small and not very interesting - most of the shops can actually be accessed from the street. In the Harpur shopping centre there are round 30 shops including Primark, Superdrug, Boots, Argos, Clintons, TK Maxx, 99p shop, Ann Summers, a few phone shops and several more. It's not very exciting at all! There is a spiral in the middle which leads down to the Harpur centre car park, WH Smiths and a sports shop. There are 2 different sets of toilets in this centre - but that's really the only good thing about it!

This is an absolute nightmare and I would avoid this shop at all costs.

Too many times have I been in this shop to have been shoved and pushed in every direction, I have even been sworn at on occasions. If you can get in there when it's quiet then it's great, they do have some good stuff and lots of branded goodies but i'm starting to wonder if it's worth it! It's the perfect place to go to get sweets for halloween or little stocking fillers.

This shop is an absolute nightmare to visit. It's always packed, the staff never know what's what,…read moreand the place always seems to have stuff virtually thrown all over the place so it's falling off the shelves onto the floor and being trodden on etc. Having said all that, it really does have some rather good bargains if you can brave the turmoil and try and visit on a 'quiet' day (I've not yet managed to figure out when it's quiet so if anyone knows please share with me but errr not the rest of the world eh ;) or it won't be quiet then anymore lol). Also I'd say this is not a place to go if you get claustrophobic, or if you find it hard to deal with lots of people for any other reason like being unstable on your feet or anything. This is one shop where I insist on using my wheelchair even if I'm feeling fit enough to walk because otherwise I'm liable to get knocked over and trodden on!
