Bhs

BHS is one of those places I remember from childhood visits to England and Wales, when it was this amazing and enormous chain that had everything and was distinctly un-​Irish. Now it’s my source of Hush Puppies shoes and random househould goods.
Ground floor is ladies fashions. They’re really talented at making all the clothing look unattractive. I’m not sure quite how they manage to merchandise quite so badly, but they even manage to make the clothes in the Dorothy Perkins concession which look perfectly lovely in the standalone store look frumpy and dull in BHS. I’d love to just completely gut that floor and start again.
Homewares are downstairs and they actually have some lovely little things. It’s pretty pricey but if you sign up for emails you’ll find that they have pretty regular sales events-​some of which are just for online orders. Their lighting section is also really good and again it’s possible to snag a bargain. The shoe section is limited but good for comfy, sensible shoes… which I have bought. I’M SO OLD.
The first floor is the kid section and I think men, but it’s mostly relevant to me because it’s where you do exchanges and go for the click and collect. They’re pretty slow at getting your orders but they’re generally friendly enough. Still possibly the worst click and collect of the ones I’ve tried though.
Random note: they seem to have the opposite of air conditioning in there. If the ambient outdoor temperature is anything over 17C it will be hotter than the fires of hell inside. It’s honestly like a kind of torture, or maybe shopping aversion therapy. I heard staff in there say it had been over 40C some days during the summer. Brutal! I still bought cushions though. Obsessed.

The store generally had a good choice of reasonably priced clothing.
Attitude to customer not good and I will think twice about going to BHS in future!
The attitude to customers has definitely changed for the worse in this store. I recently purchased an item of clothing from BHS in the sale. As it had a black mark on, I had an extra 10% discount. However, when I got home to look for the washing instructions I noticed it was a very large size. It had been on an incorrect hanger, and there was no visible size on the neck or tag. Had I not searched for washing instructions I would not have been able to see the actual size. The garment still had the tags in place, I hadn’t removed anything, but trying to get them to change it was extremely difficult as they kept on about policy etc. etc., In the end I was able to purchase another similar item which was more expensive. I was also told it was very RARE for them to exchange in these circumstances and I should consider myself LUCKY!

This is a great branch of BHS. A large well planned store. It has lifts and escalators as well as stairs so good access to the basement floor. It is a very good value store.
It stocks a great range of goods and has an excellent café. The buffet breakfast is particularly good value.
The toilets are always clean and the staff are helpful and friendly.

This place is extraordinary compared to the other stores at festive times where they have a giat teddy bear parading the street promoting to the events.

good place to shop, cant wait to see it once it has had its refit like the bhs at the fort

A massive BHS which is so big it has a separate shoe and accessories area! Impressive!
They sell mens, womens, childrens and home stuff in this store over 3 floors.
There are plenty of staff around when you need help and you can even get a copy of OK! magazine for a pound if you spend over a certain amount in here, woohoo!

This is a well set out store which provides clothes for men, women and children as well as a bridal section which offers some lovely dresses at very reasonable prices.
The homeware section has some really good quality bedding which lasts for years and is in some lovely designs. There is also a lighting section which is quite reasonably priced.
It is the Christmas shop, however, which is definitely worth visiting. Cheap and fun presents, ideal for Secret Santas alongside more expensive but value for money presents. Definitely a place that can solve your man present issues! That said there are plenty of presents for everyone.
The staff have always been very kind and helpful and especially good at doing refunds. Lovely shop.

I love BHS and this store is a lovely store with plenty of choice and load fo xmas gift ideas and presents for the whole family

I really like this store, it is well set out (over 2 floors), I find it very easy to find what I want without having to ask anyone.
It is easy to manouvre about with prams, & all the clothes are not all crammed together and unable to get to properly.
They have a good selection of childrens clothes, are very reasonable for school clothes (which also wash up well), they have a homewares section but I do find they dont have as much of a selection as some of their other stores.
Overall the store is good, and have reasonably priced clothes for men, women & children.

if going into town try this place very cheap good value for moneycheap
