Parchment Street area

To find this street, look up and see the newly installed Kite Flyer arching the paved road area. This interesting shopping street is a hotspot for boutiques and galleries, interspersed with some seriously stylish hair salons. If you are looking for an exclusive and untapped shopping resource, then this is it.

If you fancy making your own jewellery head to World of Beads - the south's largest stockist of beautifully made unqiue beads from around the world.

For a range of contemporary art and sculpture, visit Bell Fine Art. The gallery is on two floors and offers a full framing service. Or why not visit local photographer Joe Low's Gallery to see powerful images of Hampshire's landscapes and heritage.

Forme brings together centuries' old Italian artistry and the latest trends in modern design for the home. Chic jewellery stores Justice and neighbouring Loot are bursting with trinkets and charms, and sit alongside the more traditional James Jewellers and J Collins & Son - a combination not to disappoint lovers of all things sparkly.

Tucked away in the cosy Stonemason's Court is award-winning hairdressing salon Guy Kremer along with the Amanda Attwood Beauty Clinic - perfect for an afternoon of self-indulgence. More pampering is available at The New Midas Hair, Tanning and Beauty Salon.
