This is a favourite sale shop of theirs when it comes to ales time as their sale prices are fantastic. they have picked up clothes for cheaper than a charity shop and all good trendy brand new stuff. When they have purchased wrong sizes and tried to take them back some times the staff have struggled to do it right and things have got a bit confusing and messy but overall this is a good store and one that we will no doubt be in a lot. The price of normal stuff is also very reasonable and some say good quality and trendy!

New Look is one of Barrow's largest fashion shops, spread over two floors right in the middle of…read morePortland Walk (the main shopping street). It caters for menswear and childrenswear as well as womenswear. There is a very wide selection of items - all the usual clothes, but also lingerie, sleepwear, gifts and a whole floor upstairs devoted to shoes! As with most New Looks, it's cheap and cheerful - expect to pay £20 or so for shoes, and £15 for a top. They have regular sales where everything is put out on racks and it looks like a jumble sale, but if you're prepared to have a good rummage then you can easily find some bargains! They do 10% student discount, and also have a storecard with the occasional cardholders event throughout the year offering free goodie bags or another 10/20% off. There are usually plenty of tills open, and lots of staff around to help. Ideal if you're looking for a quick disposable-fashion outfit, and the shoes put some of the more expensive shoe retailers to shame!

Situated in the middle of Portland Walk below Topshop and next to Debenhams, so easy to pop in if you're in town anyway. It has some nice items, and the staff are very friendly and helpful, they always have a good chat with you - but on the whole the clothes are the same as you can get in New Look or Primark, nothing very exciting or 'special'. The coats and knitwear are nice though, and it's a great place to stock up on cheap shirts for work (they're currently doing a 2 for £20 offer). They do good discounts too - teachers and NHS employees get 10 or 15% (depending on what promotion they're doing at the time) and of course students get their student discount too - so it's a cheap place to shop if you fall into one of those categories! They also do a store-card which gives you 10% off when you open one - worthwhile if you're buying a lot. This Portland Walk store is apparently shutting down in a couple of months anyway, so there will no longer be a Dorothy Perkins in Barrow - which is a shame as it always seems to be quite busy and has some good bargains.

Plenty of car parking and its close proximity to the Asda bus route, make it easy to get too. Matalan sell a range of mens, womens and childrens clothes as well as home wares. A membership card is required but they are easily obtained at the front desk as you enter the store. The prices are very reasonable for the clothes and for the home wares.

I dont always have mine but the staff are great as they can still seve you even without a card they just type in your name and addy and it comes up on screen so know if you forget your card you can still shop there ! Ive bought allsorts over the years from here and never had a problem with anything its good quality at a decent price. They usually always have the up to date fashions in or can tell you when they will have them in. Advise anyone to use this spot for clothes for the family. They also have an accessory dep but I find that a bit pricey at times eg for quilt covers etc so I get mine else where but in also saying that they do also have some unusual decor stuff which I love and buy from there, and of coasre its right across from my fav shop asda. There is easy access to both as there is also a bus service that go right by there the number 3 bus and it usually runs every ten to fifteen mins from the town hall.

Barrow is very proud of its Debenhams - we don't have many shops, but this is a good one! A huge…read moredepartment store covering 2 big floors, with a car park on the roof so you don't have to carry your shopping too far! It has everything from womenswear, kids, menswear, cosmetics, accessories, sportswear, lingerie, home items, gifts, wedding listthe list goes on! It has also brought Warehouse, Faith and Jane Norman clothes and shoes to Barrow in the form of concessions within the store, which is great as we didn't have those stores before. It has a cafe on the first floor so you can take a well-earned break from your shopping trip for a cup of tea - they do a fantastic breakfast for £3.50 (until 11.30am) and a lunchtime menu as well. It has full disabled access with lifts and escalators as well as the stairs, and is always clean and brightly lit. The staff will annoy you by asking if you want to open a Debenhams account card even if you're only spending £1 - but it is actually one of the better account cards out there, as they send you offers throughout the year and have special cardholders days. If you can't be bothered traipsing round lots of shops and want to get everyone's Christmas presents in one place this year, Debenhams will have something for everyone!

Several times we have been in and had to ask for specially served food for someone who cannot eat the majority of restaurant food and they have never refused, and never complained about having to do something different. The store has two floors which can be reached either by escalator or lift

It's three floors of high end designer products. I felt scruffy going in with my mates but the friendly staff made sure I felt welcome. It wouldn't look out of place in the most expensive shopping streets and arcades in London.

If you are looking for high end high street clothing then this is the only place you need to go. It is 3 floors of shopping heaven for men and women.

In summer check them out for there range of birkenstocks with some stunning exclusive designs.

'Outlet Shopping Village' just outside Fleetwood. Shops include Mountain Warehouse, Thornton's,…read moreCadbury, M & S Outlet, Denby, Antler, Gap, Past Times, Paper Mill and many more. Several of the shops are meant to be discounted and some do seem to have sale prices a lot of the time but I wouldn't really describe it as chock full of bargains by any means. There's a food court which overlooks a pretty marina with its assortment of yachts and boats. A MacDonalds on the outskirts and a Costa Coffee within the village itself add to the eating and drinking possibilities. I'd describe it as a nice place to visit for a morning or afternoon out if you're in the area but you may be disappointed if you travel many miles to shop here as it doesn't compare to serious shopping venues such as the Trafford Centre and in all honesty I don't think it would make any claim to.

I agree with the previous review: it's a really good place to visit but if you're comparing it to…read moreMcArthur Glen or any of the larger outlets you'll be a bit disappointed. It's got the essential M&S and Next Clearance though, so I was happy enough! The play area is a massive bonus for those of us with men and kids: one place to dump them both for a couple of hours of shopping in peace! It's not the best in the world but it is perfectly adequate and if it's somewhere you don't visit often then there would be plenty to keep the kids amused. I liked the fact that at the end there's a sort-of marina, so you can watch the boats (ok, I only did it for about 2 minutes then got bored and went to buy chocolate in Thorntons instead, but I liked the idea of it). Definitely worth a visit if you're having a good old British holiday in Blackpool and want a bit of civilized retail therapy.
