1 sept. 2008A nice little store with a wide selection of affordable jewellery and collectables.
they stock the ever popular me to you bears ornaments, aswell as silver items.
the staff are warm and pleasant, eager to help, but not pushy.
they are patient and polite, even when you ask to try on 10 different items - well, with so much choice, it is hard to choose.

1 sept. 2008tamworth castle hotel is a popular choice for wedding receptions as they have large function rooms.
it is a lovely clean, warm and welcoming hotel with staff who are chatty and eager to please.
they do civil ceremonies for £275, and a wedding night honeymoon package. with this, you get an upgrade to their best room, breakfast, bottle of sparkling wine and a box of handmade chocs, for £120, which i think is a very fair price. so much so, i am planning on booking it for my own wedding.
it is close to the main bustle of the town centre, aswell as the castle grounds, making it an ideal hotel for those visiting tamworth with views to visit the castle and its beautiful surroundings.
i'd say it was aimed more at adults who like a quiet stay.
they also host a wedding fayre which is usually free to visit.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
1 sept. 2008shoppers paradise.
if you love your labels, you'll love it here.
main attraction for me is selfridges, over 3 floors, its massive.
there is a sushi bar, paper chase, krisp kreme - worth going just for a donut.
with tons of designer shops, aswell as family faves like the disney shop and entertainer, it isnt just for the fashion lovers.
there are plenty of places to eat, including burger king.
you could easily spend the whole day there, when you think you've seen every shop, you find another.
there isnt much seating available inside, but there are loads of doors leading outside.
shops are easy to find with the help of touch screen monitors telling you where things are. toilets are clearly sign posted, and there are lifts and escalators to each level.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0- 1 sept. 2008

1 sept. 2008an ideal place to take the kids, especially if its raining.
it is expensive though. it cost us nearly £30 for 2 adults and a child, and that was with a buy one get one free voucher. 2 groups of people infront of us walked out when they found out how much it cost, so i'd advise looking out for a discount voucher if you really want to go.
fantastic for kids, as they can get up close to the tanks.
they have stopped the touching of the fish which is a shame, as i use to love the rock pools, and picking up a star fish or crab.
the displays are amazing, these include an amazon rainforest, full of tanks filled with piranahs. it is quite scary, my little boy wouldnt let go of me walking through there.
they have a huge pirates display with a seating area where they tell a tale of the sea, with a view of a MASSIVE tank, filled with sharks and sunken treasure, which is what you see when you walk through the glassd tunnel after the talk has finished. they have a new octopus exhibit which is great for the kids, it is really bright and colourful.
where ever you go in the sea life centre there is always a member of staff there to ask any questions you may have.
they also advertise the times of when they feed the fish, so you can watch that.
there is also a photo opportunity near the main entrance, to get a pic of your family in the mouth of a shark, which you can then buy at the exit.
after the octopus tanks, you come out into the gift shop.
here you can find soft toys, sweets, models, kitchen ware and clothing.
there is also a soft play are and a cafe, ideal for a sit down after the walk round the centre.
id suggest taking your time reading the info and really looking into the tanks, to get your moneys worth.
it is a nice treat though, and a guaranteed child pleaserHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
