XXXXXXXX ADVERT I SEMENT F EATURE
SPOTLIGHT ON SUSSEX & HOBSON STREET Slip away from the bustle of the city centre down to Sussex Street, home to a lovely array of indie businesses just ever-so-slightly off the beaten shopping track. One must-visit is Millers Music, one of the oldest shops in the city, which has weathered world wars, recessions and dramatic changes in the way we shop, but remains a firm favourite for its wide range of musical instruments and friendly, knowledgeable service. Brides-to-be, check out the stunning Tailor’s Cat, which is home to more than 200 exquisite designer wedding dresses. And why not pick up a steaming jacket potato from Tatties while you’re in this corner of town? Round the corner and you’ll be greeted by Hobson Street and top hair salon Reeds, plus the delightful Cafe Abantu. It’s impossible not to be tempted by the home-made salads and freshly baked sweet treats on offer at this cheerful eatery. Or, for something a little stronger, head down the road to Robert Graham, which specialises in fine whisky and cigars.
