    Hi All,

    I'm thinking of heading to Omagh for the first time before Christmas, and I would love to know the best places to go shopping, what shops are there and any nice markets or sights to see!

    Many thanks for any info.

    There isnt any markets as far as I know.

    Sedan Avenue (Showgrounds retail park) has main chain shops (Next, M&S, Argos and others) Its usually a nightmare for getting into, parking, and getting out of so bear this in mind if your going at a peak time.

    High Street has Dorothy Perkins, Topshop, Boots and local shops.

    Great Northern Retail park (new Derry Road) has Halfords, Homebase, a home shop of some sort.

    Asda is on the Dromore Road, Dunnes on the Dublin Road, Iceland is probably tricky to find if your not from the town, its in the car park down foundry lane.

    As for places to see or things to do.... maybe Ulster American Folk Park if you havent already been? They have a christmas event on too --> http://www.folkpark.com/whats_on/events/?article=1496

    Gortin Glens is always nice for a walk but it might be a bit cold / wet.

    A little jewel in Trone and its a very underestimated place for shopping. People talk of Newry and Enniskillen etc but what a lot dont realise is that Omagh is less than an hour's drive from Monaghan.

    Not a bad shopping town but the shops/stores mentioned aren't near each other so you'll need the car-if you're coming up, come early and give yourself plenty of time to get round them. Oh and beware of the gestapo officers parading as traffic wardens!! :)http://www.omagh.towntalk.co.uk/
