Shopping<br />
<strong>Chester</strong> is a shopper’s dream. It’s four main<br />
shopping streets haven’t stopped bustling<br />
since the middle ages, and continue to draw<br />
in retail enthusiasts from around the world.<br />
Brands like The White Company,<br />
Pandora, Jo Malone, and Joules rub<br />
shoulders with the city’s boutiques,<br />
designers and indie shops. The<br />
Grosvenor Shopping Centre is home<br />
to leading clothing chains, while the<br />
St. Michael’s Arcade houses top<br />
fashion names.<br />
Since the 1200s, <strong>Chester</strong>’s main<br />
shopping area has been separated<br />
into floor-level shopfronts and The<br />
Rows, a covered series of elevated<br />
walkways. These rows encompass<br />
tearooms, bookstores, boutiques<br />
and galleries.<br />
Art lovers can peruse one-of-a-kind<br />
pieces at The Arc Gallery and<br />
Watergate Galleries, or pick up a<br />
gift at Sally’s Secret Garden.<br />
The ancient architecture of <strong>Chester</strong>’s<br />
shopping district means that many<br />
shops benefit from a unique setting,<br />
like Corks Out, an independent wine<br />
and spirits merchant housed in a<br />
medieval ‘crypt’.<br />
Make sure to stray into<br />
Commonhall Street and Godstall<br />
Lane, two picturesque side streets<br />
filled with hidden gems.<br />
