Yes Please! The womenswear boasts quite a good selection of on trend items, both in casualwear and formalwear, as well as usually having a good selection of dresses, whatever the time of year. Currently they have a broad selection of winter coats in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes there should be something to suit everyone! During sale time you can pick up lots of bargains, with most basic items being priced at £1 or under, with t-shirts sometimes costing you 25p! Great news in a poor economic climate eh?

Great bargains all year round. Clothes are priced at 'disposable clothes' prices (50p +).

Colours can wash lighter but at their prices you can wear them a couple of times and give them to charity. Changing rooms are private and you can take as long as you need. Staff are available and friendly. Queues for the tills can appear long but they move quickly and you often pick up another bargain while you're in the queue.

I think this shop likes to prides itself as a high quality shop but in fact i think this puts…read morepeople off as i know it does for me - it used to be the only place in Ballymena that stocked Clarks so a lot of people would go there for that reason. But i find the staff very rude, ignorant with a 'look down their nose at you' attitude. Sells some expensive stuff and quality brands if that is what you are after but a lot of it seems very dated also. I would not go into this shop out of choice at all!

Iknow it is a very large and well respected store in the town but for me, I'm afraid I have always…read morefelt that it was on the expensive side and that you had to 'have plenty of money' to even go in for a look around. Sorry folks, but this is one that I think wants a certain level of clients and is not a great choice for the everyday, down-to-earth, shopper. Great if you have the means to afford the ticket prices but otherwise give it a wide-berth.

That said, if you watch what you are buying, you should be ok. Can be a bit congested near till area, though, and a re-think on the layout might be helpful plus a few more spots to sit and try things on. If you can't find a size you need in a style, the staff are usually willing to check their stockroom or another store for you, which is helpful.

Great shoe/boot/bag shop. Prices start at £5. Lots of changing styles available for men, women and…read morechildren. Most sizes are available in every style. Usually you go in for one pair and come out with two or three because they're so cheap. Lots of choice for handbags and schoolbags too. Staff are really friendly and helpful even when the shop is busy.

The M&S is ok and it is likely they are their so called flagship anchor but I'm not a fan of having…read moreto pay to car park just to be able to shop. There are the usual suspects in terms of tenants H&M, EE, Boots, etc but what I have come to dislike immensely is that like others places they charge disabled persons to park. It often takes these folks longer to get in/out of their vehicles and slower at shopping so they are being financially penalised because of their disabilities - this ain't my type of society and reflects an insatiable greed I find really distasteful. I won't return to subsidise greedy bastards.

They have really trendy clothes, handbags, shoes and accessories in here although they can be quite expensive. The best time to go would be sale time when they have rails ranging from £5.

As it is located in Fairhill Shopping centre there is no problem with parking :)
