Shop 'til you drop in Dover

Shopping in Dover is easy and there are great options to choose from!! St James Leisure and Retail Park  (Mon -Sat til 8pm, Sunday 4pm) with your favourite big name brands including Next and M&S Foodhall, chain eateries etc., and a Cineworld Multiplex.  If you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy quality ‘retail therapy’ or to take ‘time out’ either on your own or with friends or perhaps for a ‘girlie weekend’ - then Dover, in the heart of White Cliffs Country makes a great base.

 

 

Shopping in Dover itself is easy and relaxed with 3 main shopping areas! The High Street branches from the Market Square with Tourist Information Centre and Dover Museum (Bronze Age Boat) and local Silverscreen Cinema, it's level and part pedestrianised all the way through the old town to the historic Maison Dieu Stone Hall.  There's a diversity of smaller shops on offer - everything from modern fashion, art, crafts and quality gifts to books and marine supplies – all are interspersed with banks, pubs, restaurants, cafes and tea rooms, making shopping in Dover itself an altogether pleasant if low key experience.

 

Dover also is a good place to browse 'bric-a-brac' and recycled/ upcycled goods (furniture - antique, collectables etc with St Emmaus warehouse- Clara-Beau Interiors - and Good Buys Emporium (1 Granville Street Buckland Dover CT16 2QX)

 

Dover town center shops generally open 9.00 to 5.30 Monday to Saturday.  The town center supermarkets (Morrison’s & Asda) open on Sundays 10 am to 4 pm – however if you’re looking to stock up prior to your holiday or coming to the UK expressly to stock up on all those ‘British’ essentials such as Marmite, Bisto, Marmalade, bacon and sausages then the Whitfield Retail Park, located just 3 miles away with its 24 hour Tesco Superstore, is the place to go (store & petrol station open 24 hours). B&Q DIY store (with Plant and Garden Departments), Car Sales, Plumbing Specialists, Builders Yards are also located in the vicinity.
