Is soooo glad I have found somewhere to buy sweets from jars. But the proper old sweets that are…read morethe best when sold per 100g in little paper bags!! I was so excited when I finally found this little shop after wandering around the time zone that is Afflecks Palace. This place sells all the favs from dip daps, nerds and wham bars to 10 flavours of bon bons, midget gems, pineapple cubes, lager tops and so on and on and on and on..... all priced at 75p per 100g! They should change the saying from "cheap as chips" to "chip as the sweets in Retro Sweets in Afflecks Palace". A big surprise was the selection of Wonka sweets available. I have only ever seen a few varieties in Selfridges but this was just simply amazing! I can't even remember the names of them there were so many! We came away with a bag full of sweets for only £4 and were well happy! :) Shall be my new fav sugar haven.

I feel like a little kid every time I visit this sweet shop…read more It really does take me back down memory lane. Everything is presented beautifully and the choices are amazing. You can buy sweets or chocolates that you haven't seen for a while or stock up on all your favourites. I love the clear packaging your sweets are wrapped in to take home. They have a few sugar free items too so not everything is bad for your teeth. They have goody bags for kids and hampers as gifts. Located in the heart of the Chester city centre, a must for tourists or the locals.

I love this shop! Whenever i have a crazy sweety craving, i…read morecome to this shop and usually find what i was wanting, even if i didnt know i wanted it. this is the place to go to find soem of the old sweets from when you were a child that you cant find anymore. Its also a great place to go to get those last minute gifts you forget about. they have sweetie gift sets made up, and some hampers, all at reasonable prices. these are usually seasonable so for example, at halloween, you can find little sets with halloween sweets and the same at christmas. It may be quite a small store, but the vast array of different kinds of sweets more than makes up for the cramped surroundings. the staff are really friendly and know everything there is to know about their sweets. which is ideal if you are buying fro someone with allergies.

We took the train from Barmouth here (which was a beautiful ride) to this small beach town. Whenever I see a sign that says homemade ice cream I make a beeline for it. We stopped in here after lunch at a pub down the road a bit. The line was out the door and that is never a bad sign. We both got cones and went and sat down near the sea to enjoy them in the sun. Good quality ice cream on a warm and sunny day. Never a bad thing.

Honestly, those days did once exist. And they were brilliant, let me tell you. We're talking bon bons, liquorice, chocolate buttons and far more besides. I love all of those things. They also sell a range of drinks, crisps and chocolates that are more like the regular confectionary you find nowadays. Sweet Sensations is located in the bustling food hall in the Arndale Centre.

Adjacent to a public car park and a picturesque picnic site, the Chocolate House has a startling selection of different chocolates, with a vast range of flavours from mango to mandarin. The boxes are a set price or you can buy them by the kilo/pound, quite expensive though, but great for a special gift. The cafe has a good range of hot and cold dishes, such as pancakes, jacket potatoes, tea cakes, homemade soup etc. A good cup of coffee too, strong and flavoursome. The Chocolate House also sells large wall clocks, art pieces, Welsh themed souvenirs, local OS Maps and tourist information leaflets for local attractions. The only slight downside is that the Chocolate House has no toilet, just the slightly grisly public loos across the road.
