The beautiful historic fishing port of Portishead on the Severn Estuary in North Somerset has plenty to offer, from its modern marina full of bars and restaurants to its Victorian High Street full of fascinating independent shops. If you are lucky enough to be in Portishead on market day you will enjoy a browse.
Charity shops offer a great alternative to regular shopping. From preloved gems to helping those in need it’s a great idea. You can find unique and interesting items that you wouldn’t find in high street shops. It can help to raise money for good causes, and you can be kind to the environment by giving pre-loved items a new home.
