This is really about the market.it's pretty incedible. Huge!!!…read moreThere are so many stalls (all under cover) that you really can't take it in at one go. Needs several visits. Now my mother brought me up not to be greedy - but markets have an effect on me, especially plant stalls, silver, faric and leather goods. There is every thing from bongs to veggies, bags to embridery threads, arts and crafts, gosh probably a beer stall too. Most of the vendors are very friendly - I always find plant sellers are on my planet! Some are a little indifferent but at least that's not going to ruin the fun. You don't need to leave lots of dosh behind, browsing is fun. And theres a couple of good pubs just nearby!

The Castle Place shopping centre used be quite smikey before the smoking ban, although its now much…read moreimproved. However it seems in recent years the turnover of shops has been quite high with shops often opening and closing and being replaced with other shops quite quickly That said its often interesting to see what shop next fills the gaps. The market contains a wide range of goods and the stall holders are always friendly and can answer my questions. There is a stall selling all types of material, the music one, one selling smoking implements and lots more. I enjoy looking round the music exchange one becaus you never know what to expect!

It's in the town centre and it has many of the usual suspects: Bonmarche, H Samuel, Peacocks,…read morePoundland, Superdrug but it has novel tenants too like the Chinese Doctor (who likely has no medical degree), the Trowbridge museum (the whole town looks like a museum), Boswells cafe, Bath Cats & Dogs Home. It's an airy, bright and spacious place, easily negotiated. There's a shared pay to park car park at the rear within which is an Asda. We were surprised to learn that the shopping centre closes at 6pm every day - no late night shopping fans in this sleepy town on the river bliss. A town with a heck of a lot of old folks shuffling around. The town was recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book when it was called the village of Straburg, and it was recorded as having 24 households, well endowed with land, particularly arable ploughlands, and rendering 8 pounds sterling to its feudal lord a year - hundreds of years before the arrival of employers and employees

Probably the best shop in Trowbridge since it has everything you could ever possibly need including…read moremusic, electricals, white goods, kitchen accessories, furniture, china, garden goods, travel goods and loads more. If you want something they normally have it! I remember being a young child visiting this store and now Im older its exactly how I remember it and does have a charmingly interesting 80's feel about it. The staff are friendly and are always able to offer advice on a wide variety of subjects. Unfortunately I have been told the music counter has been removed. Larger goods can either be delivered or you can drive round the back to pick them up by car.

Very disappointed in my experience with Knees. They took money for a product that is not available…read moreor currently being produced as advertised on their website. They cancelled my order because they said the billing address did not match the card address even though it did. Their website is set up so that I was able to pay with a foreign card with options to select from many countries despite them not accepting foreign cards/ addresses. I lost about £150 on the refund as the exchange rate had changed and they could not have cared less.

I always enjoy wandering round Wilkinsons, and usually end up buying far more than I ever intended…read moreto when I went in! It's a veritable treasure-trove of items, and of course the prices are all really inexpensive, so many bargains to be had. I think last time I went in I came out with: flowerpots for potting out my seedlings, a birthday card, soft drinks, some make-up, a chopping board, and some cat food. And I only went in to get a body spray, which I forgot about!! It's the sort of place where you always find something you want, even if you didn't know you wanted it before you went in. Over a year ago I bought one of Wilkinson's canvas shoppers, the sort that fold up and slip in your handbag. It was only 45p, a vast saving on many supermarket's similar ones, and it's still sturdy and good as new despite being used nearly every day!

Its great to have a Wilkinsons in Trowbridge since they are one of my favourite shops. Silmilar to…read moreKnees, but tends to be slightly cheaper, but not quite as friendly in my opinion. Still, everything is great for the price and it normally has everything I need and more This store contains a large amount of goods including home furnishings, toiletries, gardening goods, stationary and sweets/chocolates. There is often an area near the front of the store (castle place end) which have reduced items with somtimes 75% off which means its sometimes possible to get great bargains at great prices. Parking is close by so its easy to get what you have bought to the car.
