Live From The Village Gate - Clark Terry

Advantages: Lots of cheap designer shops
Disadvantages: Parking & runs out of popular sizes quick

...When I was a kid me and my mum headed to Clarks Village in Street Somerset a few times and back then Clarks Village was not that big and didn't have very many good shops but recently a friend mentioned that he went and recommended that we take a look, so one Saturday we took a trip there and was amazed at what we saw. I would say that it had at least tripled in size since I was last there and the quality of the shops was also a massive improvement. There are many more designer shops now and they all sell clothes, shoes, tools, furniture and more at knockdown prices, if your looking for a bargain then its def a place to consider visiting. There are about 90 shops to look around and consists of shops like Addidas, Bench, Billabong, Calvin Klein, Fat Face, Henri Lloyd, Next Clearance, Timberland and the list goes on. Its not just clothes... Read review

There are four car parks which you have to pay a small amount for and there is also a wonderful children's play area.... Read review

Advantages: Lots of discount shops on one site
Disadvantages: But not always as cheap as you might hope

...are plenty of car parks, unfortunately not free and there is a danger of following signs to Street and finding yourself parked some way from Clark's Village. Be sure you look for the Clarks Village signs to get a bit nearer, Having said that, though, the Street village itself has many good (normal High Street sort of ) shops. Don't ignore them: they somewhat unfairly lost trade to Clarks and have plenty of sales to make their shops competitive. Have a good day!... Read review
