Fancy a spot of Christmas shopping? Not sure where to browse for gifts for the whole family? Locals in Bracknell have been voting for their favourite shops in the town.

On a recent callout to Facebook, dozens of people came forward to offer up their advice on where to go for a bit of retail therapy. 

Some shops even accumulated multiple votes with many agreeing on the high quality products and great customer service of some establishments. 

In response to what their favourite shop in Bracknell was, a fair amount of people opted for Craft Coop Bracknell. 

One person wrote "Craft Coop Bracknell is in Princess Square, opposite Specsavers. It's a lovely shop but partly because of its location, not everyone knows it's there.

"It has a table inside where adults can sit with their children and make and take a 5-10 minute craft (free for all).

"There is a community wall available for groups or individuals to book (free of charge, commission on sales) Bracknell Camera Club had a display amongst others. It has a hanging hook from a rail system - perfect for artists! There is no other gallery in town."

The shop also rents shelves to art and crafters, who staff the store between them. They currently have a gifting tree to support people via Home Start and Age Concern Bracknell.

Other members also chimed in with their suggestions, many voting for a number of chain stores in the town centre. 

One person wrote "Primark, Flying Tiger, M&S, and Waitrose," with another person responding "Waitrose, Waterstones and Greggs."

A further person said "Pandora, the staff and Manager are amazing, superb customer service!"

Many other people also commented suggestions for their favourite shops in the town centre. 

Both Primark, Waterstones, Waitrose, and M&S all received plenty of votes, with a considerable amount of users voting for them.

One person said "Matalan, Boots, M&S and Primark are my favourites!"

Another person wrote "Waterstones. Superdry. Primarni. Marks and Spencer. The Range. Home Bargains. Curry's. Next."

A further person said "Fat Face, M&S, Waitrose, Boots, TKMax, Sketchers, Waterstones."

However, many also expressed that they feel Bracknell has changed for the worse in recent years and does not have much in the way of quality shops. 

Some even said that they go elsewhere to shop now. 

One person wrote "Since the rebuilding of the town centre it’s gone to pot. The town planners had a chance to make a great town centre, one that caters for all not the mess we have now. I now shop in Wokingham and crowthorne."
