My favourite stationery shop ever. Part of a national chain so you probably know what to expect -…read morebut brilliant for cards, gifts, stationery (and I LIKE my stationery!). Staff are really, really helpful - one kind lady once even spent a good ten minutes ringing other stores in the country to help try to locate a particular product I wanted. NOTHING was too much trouble for her - and that's how customer service should be.

Paperchase has some of the most gorgeous stationery and greetings cards I've ever seen. They are…read morequite a bit more expensive than other card shops, but some of their cards are so unusual and beautiful that it's hard to resist, even at their high-ish prices. They also stock a range of gifts, a lot of which are based around their distinctive patterns and designs. There is everything from ipod covers to diaries to pencil cases, and it's all stunning and very good quality. I love going into this shop just for a look at their products, it's all just so lovely and desirable!

We would recommend these guys for any work wear that you need, very flexible in their approach so small orders are not a problem.

The Derby Central Museum and Art Gallery houses many exhibitions and artefacts relevant to the…read morelocal history of Derby. Admission is completely free, and it is a great place for people to learn about the history of the local area. There is a fine collection of porcelain celebrating the cities links with Royal Crown Derby, a military gallery, wildlife displays, an archaeology gallery, and an exhibit reconstructing Bonnie Prince Charlies visit to the city on his way to claim the English thrown. The museum is also home to many of Joseph Wrights paintings. Joseph Wright was born in the city and was a celebrated 18th century artist. The gallery has the largest collection of the artist's work anywhere in the world. This museum is highly recommended.

This is probably one of the most maverick and unconventional Wilko stores I have visited, the main…read morebranch in Sheffield city centre - the store is over two floors and it is the first time I have ever seen a Wilko branch contain a Post Office, toilets and Cafe - although the latter two seem to close really early including the toilets a good 2 hours or so before the store closes which for me lowers that benefits - the only toilet which is open throughout the store is the disabled toilet which appears to be used for storage making it a nightmare for anyone, let alone a disabled person of which the toilet is designed for. The store being on Haymarket perhaps isn't the best location within the city centre, as it is a stop on the tram or a good 5-10 minute walk from the rest of the city's main shopping areas including The Moor and Fargate, the whole area seems a little rough including the nearby Hilton Sheffield - which of course lowers the overall feel of the store as it feels like the backstreets of a third world country rather than a city centre of the largest and main town of the South Yorkshire region. The staff didn't seem too friendly or helpful - the overall product range was okay but again the layout was confusing including one way in one way out forcing you to buy something - again this is a traditional method Wilko use in many of their stores but surely this adds extra inconvenience to customers just coming in perhaps to use the Cafe (at its' limited hours) or the Post Office who obviously have no need to wait at the crowded checkouts? Not in the best location in Sheffield but still central nonetheless, also let down by its' store layout and perhaps offering too much than it is able to cope with - proof of this is closing many facilities early or having different timings which don't seem to work out. 2*

This was a really cool museum, though a bit depressing. When we paid for admission, they gave us…read morebracelets with convict numbers so we could find who we were in the past. I was a local hero who robbed married men; my boyfriend stole some curtains. We looked through punishments and torture devices, some we could even try out ourselves! We read blurbs about various convicts. We stumbled into some actors, some who were better at acting than others, not to single the cheese mongrel out or anything. There's so much information, it's easy to get lost in the museum. By the end, it can get a bit dreary. Plus, the museum is SO cold, as if the ghosts of the tortured prisoners were still trapped there. We missed the live trial which would have been cool to witness but there were some interactive bits throughout that would be fun for kids! All in all, I recommend if you're interested in the history of how humans mistreated other humans.

Targeted at the…read moremore mature members of society, the clothes are well-made, hard wearing, but a little on the old fashioned side. However, their formal shirts are of excellent quality, comfortable and smart looking, I regularly buy them for work. The rest of the store is punctuated with the occasional DVD and CDs ranges, as well as items like shortbread, blankets etc. The staff are always helpful and friendly, theres always a sale on, but for me this is a place where I only ever buy one type of item.
