Clothes Shops, Shoe Shops, Fashion and Bargains
Age Concern, Dress yourself for a pound..
Emma louise Up to date fsion for cheap, Bliss up to date vasion but very expensive
The place is packed with cheap clothes shops, including 'top2toe' which has some wicked Hawiian shirts and dragon prints. Other than cheap stuff theres 'Chaos' the surf shop, prob the best shop in town along with 'Hudson Bay' another designer shop but everythings WAY too expensive!
Hudson Bay has got the best clothes and the best looking sales people!!
but the old woman who follows you around in there really needs the sack!!
Top2toe - cheap clothes, some wicked blokes shirts in there with dragons and chinease symbols and hawiian shirts galore! Loads of cheap cheeky slogan girls tops too.
cancer research,
british heart foundation
red cross etc.
Afraid none of any note, except for functional or middle-aged stuff which can be bought at Mackays "department store" up at the top end of town (Park Street). Have to catch a bus to Taunton or have a day out with a nice mate with a car to Exeter.
The Warehouse shop, if it still exists. Europe's largest collection of broken toys and only slightly soiled oversized underware. Another hilariously crap arm of the Resplendent John Welsh Empire
Samarkand for Kangaroo Poo ,Quicksilver and Ethnic Gear
Excel
The 'Fashion'Factory ROFL - ah the days we spent in there trying on the clothes trying not to laugh! - Avoid this like the plague, you'll find better clothes in the YMCA shop up the road.
Minehead really is geared towards the geriatric market. however, Hudson Bay is pretty good if you like labels (Kikkers, Cat, etc...)
Stich In Time - Clothes repair shop,busted zip? Jeans need taking up? etc. 3a Irnham Road, Minehead. Eileen will do an excellent job at a good rate.
Arts, crafts and such (Anything from pukka art galleries to craft shops. Trendy and twee both welcome.)
pompys is good for bikes,
Cake decorating shop on Friday Street. I can't remeber what its called but the owner is extremely helpful.
new art shop that opened near the seafront last year sells very nice pictures and statues for a very good price
Some prety alternative craft shops with cool chains, karma bead bracelets and the like.
Aquarius Rising is the BEST place to go, nice pick and mix incense there too
Minehead has Aquarius rising which is by far the best shop in the town, a real friendly enviroment and loads of cool stuff
Magazine and Comic Shops
Fancies has now shut down (that was a shock) and become a pound shop, so the best place for magazines and comics is forbuoys at the top end of The Parade (bottom of Park Street), or W H Smith, where the staff are happy for you to browse.
The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!
In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor
(the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.
We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!
If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.
If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
