• Zicco designer shop is the best! The prices are wicked for that type of expensive gear. If you've got great taste then definately go there. The manager is a laugh and knows his stuff. Definately get down there
• Rayers and Fosters have both disappeared! Try the Rainbow Room in Dew Street (top of town) - well worth a visit for all things 'fun & funky'!
• The best place to buy clothing in Haverfordwest has to be Knoxx.. They are friendly have had a great selection of quality clothing..
• Can't beat Blue Jeans as top of High Street - fantastic! Pricey but well worth every penny you spend on Miss Sixty, PASH, Killah Babe etc.

• What was the name of that kiddies clothes shop that used to be in Bridge Street years ago? It had what looked like 1930's scary bakelite boy and girl mannequins with with equally scary moulded bakelite hair. They used to sell gymslips and white knee length pex socks with holey patterns in that marked your legs, (the owners did, not the mannequins), and the woman who worked there never shut up once. It was kiddie purgatory every late August. Even my dignified mother had to have a fag when she came out of there. (Think Hyacinth Bucket having a desperate drag) Am I imagining it , or did it have one of those pedastle-based collection boxes for spastics outside on the pavement? I'm talking early 1970's here. Christ, I'm 34 next week.
• I work during the day in Peacocks, and we cater for all sizes and ages, which tells me that Peacocks is a pretty dam good shop!!!!!!!!!
• Select sucks!
• Zicco is the best shop in town if you are able to take out a bank loan to purchase a new pair of socks...Also if you like being ripped off then definetly shop there. He'll charm ya, love ya and fucking con ya. i once went in to buy a t~shirt and had to call in pickfords removals to take my shopping home.. he just wouldn't let me out.
• county sports, the ultimate sports shop. and the cute boy with the spikes used to work there
• your kidding right?!?!? go to swanswea
• Blue Jeans High Street unbelievable. Bought Miss Sixty kit in London, bees knees and saw the same stuff here. What's happening? Haverfordwest is catching up!
• Burtons (seeing as they were nice enough to give me one of their cards :-) )
• We're all naked. Clothes shopa are few and far between. Anything remotely trendy or with a label only from Blue Jeans
• Non-existant. Open some decent shops Haverfordwest!! even the chain stores don't want anything to do with the place. How do you expect to move into the 21st Century with the choice in town!!
• D2 Jeans, Knoxx, Ciro Citerio, that's about it. I suppose New look and DP are there for the teenie bopping, ever so comercial, youthfull sh*g-haggs who tend to go to such s**t holes as RJ's
• Don't bother with County Clothes for clothes, it's way expensive, good for other gifts as well. Apart from that there's only your usual (for a rural area) assortment of tenny boopper places like New Look.
• Got to be Knoxx if you want a sense of at least a bit of individuality
• Buy from the net, its safer and you won't look like a catalogue kid, like all the sados in h'west.
• Ciro Critterio, Fosters, London Jean Co. Good choice of decent clothes. Lot of cheap clothes shops as well dotted about!
• There used to be a funky clothes shop on the riverside, the girl who worked there was a real sexy goth.
• Ahhh - Not in Haverfordwest - Go to Swanswa, it only takes an hour if you put your foot down and its well worth it...
• Blue Jeans High Street Haverfordwest Stockist for Leve Dockers Kangol Caterpillar Wrangler Lee Easy] Coming soon Diesel
• ERrr..Fosters is about it!!!
• RAYERS SUPERSTORES!!!!!!! The Manager is fan-bloody tastic.
• Clothes shops for women is "New Look", which hold up-to-date fashions there The nearest big shopping place is swansea, which is about 60 miles away from the 'sleepy town' of Haverfordwest.
• go to Cardiff, or else Swansea

Arts, crafts and such (Anything from pukka art galleries to craft shops. Trendy and twee both welcome.)

• Emry's Art Supplies - awesome place to go for all ya art stuff! :D
• I think Emrys art supplies, handily placed halfway down a hill on a highstreet, is a really good art shop. its got most things, MIGHT be a bit pokey, might be, but its got nice people behind the desk, willing to help and wrap up purchases without haste or boredom, and cardboard and paint and books on paint and canvases and material and rubbers and things. quite handy, bar the hill bit.
• lots of nice little craft shops,i take "welsh gifts" back 2uni mates,im sure they appreciate them lol.
• At the top of town, opposite the library, forget the name, a bright orange ethnic shop full of hippy clothes, candle making kits, arty and funky
• The Rainbow Room in Dew Street (top of town) is full of interesting bits and pieces - well worth the walk!
• I got ripped off in moon and sixpence ( should be ten pence!)
• the emlry art supplies is an amazing arty shop but v. expensive
• The paintpot is a wicked craft shop, lots of fun stuff. Also try cheap stationary shop, Sett. Emrys art supplies has a very small gallery above it, with rather hinky pics in it.
• "The Moon and Sixpence" is the best shop in the whole world. Make sure you visit it!!!!!
• County Clothes. Creation. Moon and Sixpence, can be expensive but a good range.

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.
