CLOTHING4KIDS

Alright, so you're after kids' clobber, eh? CLOTHING4KIDS on Chapel Street is your shout. They've got a decent selection, and I've always found them pretty helpful when I'm grabbing bits for my niece. They've got a 4.6-star rating based on 38 reviews, so others seem happy enough, too. It's not the cheapest place, mind you – you’re paying for the brands, but the quality is usually spot on, and it saves me a trip to Liverpool.

They stock everything from baby grows to stuff for older kids, like proper coats and school uniform bits. You know, the stuff that actually lasts longer than five minutes! It's a good option if you don't want to trawl around the big department stores. I popped in last week, and they seemed to be getting their autumn and winter stock in already.

Opening hours are Monday to Saturday, 9:30am to 5pm. Give them a ring on 01704 539748 if you're after something specific.

Chapel Street can get busy, so the best bet is to park in one of the town centre car parks and walk. The one near Marks and Spencer is usually easiest.
