Whether you’re looking for local crafts, unique gift ideas, books, homeware or clothes and accessories, you’ll find it all here.

Sidmouth’s shops aren’t just confined to the high street, shops are spread out throughout the town, giving you plenty of places to explore to find the perfect gifts.
Fore Street and Old Fore Street are great places to head for accessories and clothes as well as cards, gifts and homeware, while Market Place is the place to go for Sidmouth’s department store, Fields of Sidmouth, which has stood on the street for over 200 years and boutique stores like the iconic bright pink store, Crane and Kind.
For more traditional stores like butchers, old fashioned sweet shops, delis and perfumeries Church Street is the place to go.
High Street chains can be found dotted throughout the town between independent stores, allowing you to find all your favourite brands and anything else that you might need.
Everywhere you go in Devon, you can find evidence of the region’s love of arts and crafts and it is no different in Sidmouth. You’ll find plenty of shops and galleries in and around the town selling locally made art, photography, crafts and more as well as shops that offer creative activity days.

If you want something a little bit different, shy away from the high street and check out Sidmouth’s independent retailers, you’ll find unique clothes, jewellery and gifts that you just won’t find anywhere else. From cute boutique stores to shops selling items from local designers, you can find the very best in alternative products.
