The Village, as it’s know locally is a vibrant, bustling and welcoming place where favourite high street names sit alongside much loved local independent outlets. From fabulous shoes and got-to-have handbags to a wonderfully rich matured sirloin steaks to Lashfords award winning sausages, not forgetting a therapeutic massage or gleaming new nails. When your feet are aching or a perk-me-up morning coffee is required, a variety of cafes and coffee bars are ready when you are.
A warm smile, your Sunday joint prepared how you want it, a helping hand to your car and a fond farewell. Friendly, knowledgeable, going-the-extra-mile service is what the Village is all about.
Shopping
With nearly 180 outlets, take your time to explore all the Village has to offer and a few surprises along the way will give you a taste of what makes local shopping special.
The Village more than delivers on great quality, fresh and locally sourced food. Two traditional butchers, two independent greengrocers, a baker, four supermarkets and a Polish deli all add up to a feast of choice.
If handbags, shoes and the latest fashion are your thing, enjoy exploring our thirteen fashion outlets. High street names and independent treasures burst with latest fashions at affordable prices.
If you can’t quite get the right fit, visit the haberdashery for that made to measure experience. The hardware store is another gem of a traditional trader – service, range and price are sure to beat your expectations.
Sports & leisure
There really is no excuse to not get active in the Village! A dance school, kickboxing club, gym and exercise classes are all right at the heart of the Village and just a stones throw away lies the Fox Hollies Leisure Centre with courts, all weather pitches, pool and gym.
For something a little different how about ‘Quasar Elite’? Or for more sedate exercise, a 20 lane tenpin bowling alley with its own parking sits proudly at the Western tip of the Village.
A pampering massage, a revitalising facial, stylish nails, an array of holistic therapies and a fabulous new haircut all await you at no less than eleven salons here in the Village. City centre style and surroundings provide the serenity whilst the price tag makes a luxury a new regular treat.
Eating & drinking
Whether it’s a meal out or a fresh delicious takeaway after a long hard day, the Village has something to satisfy most tastes. A long established Italian local favourite, vibrant Indian restaurants, great British food and a multitude of take- away restaurants together offer a surprisingly wide choice, all right on your doorstep.
From traditional cafés to trendy coffee bars, an early morning coffee, a daytime treat or lunchtime meal can all be had in any of six outlets around the Village.
Our three pubs offer a wealth of real ales and wines. All offer an appetising range of freshly prepared, great food throughout the day, along of course with a warm and friendly welcome. To surf the net in-between shopping Wi-Fi is available at Wetherspoons.
