We have it all: great shopping from little independents in the nooks and crannies of our older lanes to the allure of national department store Fenwick on our High Street which pulls in visitors from across the region; food to suit every taste in a wide range of top quality local restaurants and national chains; drinks from atmospheric inns; top-notch entertainment from theatres large and small – and all enveloped in an historic splendour befitting of the country’s oldest city.
