Anyone live near Tamworth?

Don't know about the town centre but there is a large retail park /area fairly close to the snow dome. One side has Asda, WH Smith, Hobbycraft, M&S etc and the other has Sainsburys and TK Maxx. Loads of other shops there too that you normally find on retail parks. Plenty to keep you amused for 4 hours I reckon!

There's also a little spa and a beauty salon in the Snowdome itself - check out the website, you can get access to the spa and swimming pool, plus a treatment for about £40-50, IIRC... ?

Thank you for your replies?

I had noticed the spa thing at the snow dome! but for my birthday last month I had three spa vouchers and I have not used any of those yet?

Use it as a practice run! ?

I have a sneaking feeling the beauty salon at snowdome is closed on Sundays - it was last time I swam there. Not sure about the rest of the spa facilities.

At least 50% of the shops in town seem to be shut on a Sunday, but as Tulip says Ventura Retail Park will be open. If you are heading there, don't park at the snowdome - you get a grace period for free drop off/pick up, and parking is free at ventura.

I know you were asking about shops, but if it is a nice day the castle pleasure grounds are just over the footbridge from snowdome and handy for a pleasant walk. The castle's pretty good if that's your sort of thing.
