Some days you just need to shop

Of course with all of these celebrations, events and hobbies going on, you’re going to need to some outfits and kit to look your best and be prepared for what each day brings.

Fortunately, as you’d expect, the city has some fantastic shopping options. Find what you need week-to-week on the main high street or in one of the city’s many retail parks.

Then, for something that little bit more special and unique, head over to the high-end stores and independent boutiques found in the Bond Street shopping centre. There’s so much choice within the inner city and on the outskirts you can literally spend days exploring the shops to find your style.

However, it’s not all about the fashion. If you’re looking to style your new home at No24 with something a little out of the ordinary, speak to one of the many art gallery owners, or meander an afternoon away discovering one-off finds in the Old Dairy or Baddows antique and curiosity shops. Popular interior stores surround the town so there’s no need to choose style over substance. At No24 in Chelmsford you can have both.
