Sparkles Boutique Southport

Sparkles Boutique is a decent shout if you're up in Churchtown and need a little retail therapy. It's not massive, but they've got a good selection of women's clothing and accessories. I know my wife's picked up a few nice bits and bobs there over the years. It’s got a 4.3 star rating from 28 reviews on Google, so other people seem to rate it alright.

It's located right in the heart of Churchtown, so easy enough to find. The shop's open six days a week, Monday to Saturday, 11 'til 5. Handy to know if you're planning a trip, as a lot of Churchtown shuts up shop on Sundays. Give them a ring on 01704 616872 if you want to check if they have something specific in stock.

They have a website too if you want a look at what they sell: sparklesboutiqueuk.com. I wouldn't say it's cheap as chips, but the quality seems pretty good for the price.

Parking in Churchtown can be a bit of a pain, especially on a Saturday. Give yourself a bit of extra time to find a space, or consider parking further out and walking in.
