Southport PDSA Charity Shop

If you're mooching around Lord Street and need a quick browse, the PDSA charity shop is worth popping into. It's not massive, but they usually have a decent turnover of clothes, books, and bric-a-brac. You know the drill with charity shops – sometimes you strike gold, sometimes it's all a bit meh, but it's for a good cause, right?

It gets a 4.0 rating on Google from 13 reviews, so people seem generally happy. I've picked up a few good books there myself over the years. It's pretty standard as far as charity shops go, but the staff are always friendly enough, and you can't argue with the prices. Plus, you're helping poorly pets, so win-win.

They're open seven days a week, which is handy. Monday to Saturday it's 9 'til 5, and then Sunday they open a bit later, 10 'til 4. Give them a ring on 01704 536948 if you're after something specific, but honestly, half the fun is just having a rummage.

Just a heads up, Lord Street parking can be a nightmare, so either use the park and ride or be prepared to walk a bit.
