Brighton
Shopping is an experience; trying on clothes and feeling their texture, sampling local produce from Farmers' Markets or taking in the atmosphere of a bustling parade. Find places to shop near you that can't be matched by the Internet.
If you think shopping in South England is restricted to Regent Street and Carnaby Street, think again. In addition to traditional shopping centres and discount designer outlets, South East England has a collection of unique places to shop outside London that can't be found anywhere else.
Explore the narrow alleys of the 17th century Lanes, a maze of smart shops selling antiques, jewellery and designer clothes.

If hand crafted, locally made, is more your thing, then The Sussex Guild Shop & Gallery is for you. Established as a charity over 50 years ago with over 100 members, it brings together a group of local professional designers and makers of fine, contemporary and traditional craftwork.
The former capital of England is a well preserved city so even shopping in Winchester means popping in to historic buildings. It makes it a wonderful place to go bargain hunting – whether you're thinking antique or boutique!
