A fine shopping centre clearly riding the economic storms and staying out on top. Fareham Shopping…read moreCentre is a shining beacon of just how well you can do these days, even in a recession, if you just put your mind to it. And with excellent access from the A27, M27 or by Train it's easy to get there. This shopping centre has been around for years, I used to visit back in my 20's many years ago. It's always had a reasonable selection of shops but there was nothing very special about it. Well haven't times changed..my family make an effort to go here now and I'll explain why. The management have greatly improved the aesthetics, the entire shopping centre has been given a fresh lick of paint and a strong breath of ingenuity with artful designs giving a far more modern and confident feel. And rightly so, nestled in this 'minature Bluewater' are a vast selection of QUALITY shops such as Next, River island, Clarks, Waterstones, Thorntons, The Body Shop, Marks & Spencer and all the usual jewelery stores and mobile phone shops. Clearly the management have been busy over the last 10 years My family and I thoroughly enjoy visiting and perusing the many shops and numerous eateries here..the hours fly by. Security are in a large presence which is always nice to see and the entire place is meticulously cleaned. I rarely see 'mess' without a cleaner straight on it. Parking is always a problem in Fareham though. You have to be smart and come early to avoid issues. Either park in the High Street (time resticted though so be wary), behind the shopping centre (also restricted) or park in the large car park directly in front of the Apollo Cinema (but be prepared to queue and pay for the privilege). In Summary, a growing and stylish shopping centre weathering the economic troubles and succeeding. A vast selection of quality shops and resturants all under one, very well managed, roof. If only they could sort out more parking. My family and I love it and look forward to losing several hours again very soon. I score Fareham Shopping centre a firm 4/5.

As an American, going to a new grocery store in the UK was so fun!…read more I loved seeing all of the different snacks, treats, and groceries. These juices below are so delicious!

Definately the best joke shop around!…read more U Need Us are suppliers of such items as wigs, makeup, tights, balloons, seasonal goods (xmas and halloween outfits namely), gag jokes (tar soap, itching powder, whoopee cushions) and costumes. It's a small shop for the number of items it sells, but it works really well and the staff are excellent and willing to help with nay requests!

Quite possibly the best place to come and get Hallowe'en decorations, or decorations in general…read more The store is horribly cramped, but everything is neatly organized into just two aisles and there is a heck of a lot of items for sale in such a tiny shop. They sell everything from costumes, masks, balloons, wigs and huge Hallowe'en props to latex body paint. I wanted to construct a ghost for an elaborate decoration one year and found out that they actually sold styrofoam mannequin heads for just £5! The shop also sells gags (hot chili mints, itching powder etc), as well as a decent variety of board games. The people who work there are quite friendly but are always inundated with crowds and there's never a proper queue, which can be annoying, but it's worth braving the crowds to get something unique here.

This shop is fantastic! I popped in one day looking for a very small chair after trawling round…read moreother shops and searching on the internet. I couldn't find a shop which had the correct size chair to fit under my dressing table and to have it made would have cost megabucks. But... after chatting to the unbelievably helpful man in TBS he said he could get virtually anything made in any size and colour! True to his word my beautifully upholstered bedroom chair arrived 2 weeks later and not costing the earth either! I have been back several times and wouldn't even consider going anywhere else for something special. If you want anything in a particular size-you want great service and you don't want to wait 3 months for it then I can't recommend this shop highly enough.
