    Frequent visitor to Belfast to shops, me, so....

    Belfast city centre has the best selection, its such a compact shopping area, everything is within 3 streets and a couple of shopping centres, its ideal. If one parks in the Castlecourt Shopping Centre, its very handy and central. M&S have a big store on Donegal Square.
    BHS also well worth a visit. Alas, the BBC Shop is no more, I really miss that store. :(

    IKEA is out the Bangor road, so follow the signs for Bangor/A2

    Victoria Square has recently opened, a new shopping centre which is not enclosed. I was in it once since it opened, and I was underwhelmed, tbh.

    Comet are not in NI, Currys have a small store in Donegal Arcade. If travelling by car, the Sprucefield Shopping Centre and Sprucefield Retail Park just before the M1 in Lisburn is well worth a stop. PC World, M&S amongst others, and across the way, there is Currys, Argos Extra, Sainsburys (pour bier) and B&Q.

    Enniskillen is grand, but small, Newry has two major shopping centres beside each other, the Buttercrane and The Quays. Newry over Enniskillen for me, parking can be a 'mare in Newry at the weekends, but yet, if you are coming that distance, less than 40 miles more and you are in Belfast, tbh.

    Happy shopping. :)

    The Outlet in Banbridge, a few miles north of Newry on the way to Belfast is probably a real good bet!

    As said above The Outlet is good for discounted Designer stuff.
    Worth going nowadays with the EURO/GBP exchange rate at nearly 0.8000.
    Try and pay in Euro in Sainsburys as they give you a really good rate
    with no commission.
    Ikea will be jammed weekends so try and go midweek early.
