Shop
Shopping with purpose or simply enjoying the freedom to wonder and browse, this vibrant and diverse commercial centre is a welcome change to the sometimes soulless ‘malls’.
Packed with quirky and independent retail outlets, as well as more household names, the town presents a very favourable environment to savour the pleasures of shopping. It is surprising what you can discover, meandering up and down the High Street, in and out of the back streets, and courtyards, where it is very likely you can while away the hours, snap up a bargain or take possession of an unexpected treasure. If you are looking to find furniture, fashion or food, fabric, feathers or flowers, fragrances even feature fireplaces; it’s there to be found. It is delightful to be able to select meat, vegetables, cheese, wine and many other locally produced goods from knowledgeable people who have the time and infectious passion to build your appetite and anticipation. It’s inspiring to be in an area that attracts artists and craftspeople, to be surrounded by creativity, with their works on show, in shops and galleries, and to admire their skill and perhaps take something home with you. A popular haunt for bargain hunters and people who trade in antiques and antiquarian books, Honiton has a burgeoning reputation with growing numbers of specialist shops and regular auctions. An extra dimension is added on Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturdays every week with a market on the High Street. Add to this heady mix, an extensive array of out of town retail businesses, garden centres, and farm outlets; it is no wonder people are choosing to spend precious time and money where the returns and benefits frequently exceed expectation.
New Street Often seen as a 'poor relation' to Honiton’s High Street, New Street is often overlooked by shoppers and visitors. Not anymore! New Street has had a growth spurt and now offers lots of fabulous independent shops and businesses where expert advice and interesting items can be found. From antiques and clocks to picture framing, art, lighting, interiors and knitting. Take a look and see what’s new. New business owner Claire Johnson says “ many people say to me I didn’t know you were here and that they don’t often come up New Street. We need to change this dated perception because New Street is full of interesting and award winning businesses and expert advice. “ There is a phone shop, computer repair, specialist knitting store, talented hair designers and salons, key cutters and trophies, carpet and flooring experts, an estate agents with a genuine and personal approach to home buying and selling, stylish gifts and home accessories.... the list goes on. The fishmongers has an amazing array of fresh fish on display and friendly staff to give advice on preparation. The friendly and knowledgeable staff at the Hearing Centre are renowned in their field and welcome enquiries and lets not forget your early morning paper ! IT’S ALL HERE. ” With convenient parking and our own delicatessen with cafe and outdoor seating piazza.... it’s now THE place to shop and relax. Come and find your own hidden gems.... a warm welcome awaits you in New Street.
