Simon Ford Jewellery Workshop

Looking for something special in town? Simon Ford Jewellery Workshop, right in the centre of Southport, is the place to go. Forget the usual high street chains; this is where you find something with a bit of heart. They're not open Mondays or Sundays, but you can catch them Tues-Fri 9 'til half 5, and Saturday 'til 4.

Simon Ford gets proper rave reviews – a perfect 5.0 from 85 reviews on Google. That’s saying something. It's not just about buying off the shelf; they do bespoke pieces too. I had my engagement ring resized there, and they did a cracking job. Really pays to support local businesses like this.

They’ve got a website if you want to have a look at some of their stuff beforehand, but honestly, popping in is the best way to get a feel for what they do. You can always give them a ring on 01704 651037 if you have something specific in mind before you head down.

Bear in mind it can get busy on Saturdays, so either get there early or maybe try a weekday if you can.
