Review of Party Superstores

Clowning around 
The place to go - in fact the only place to go in the area - if you need to hire a fancy dress costume. A huge array of outfits from the cheap and cheerful to the more expensive and ornate are held in the basement to hire or buy. Perfect if you need to stitch up a mate for a stag weekend / night.
The cost varies but look to spend an average of about £45 (this doesn't include the desposit on your card too, which is refunded if the item is undamaged). The cheaper ones do risk breaking though so err on the side of the more expensive if you can. On the down side, some of the outfits have been around for a while so get a bit tatty and some of the more encompassing ones have the lived in smell. Mind you, if it was perfection you were looking for you'd buy your own.
There are changing rooms so you can check how the outfits look before you rent them. Look at the website for a full view of all the types of outfits. Service is quick but on Saturdays it gets busy and can take some time despite the efforts of the three staff below.
Upstairs, the shop is filled with a variety of masks, party poppers, swords, wigs, fake blood, guns, ballons, fake dog crap etc etc etc. Anything and everything that you need to hold a party for young children or adults alike. Prices seem suprisingly cheap but it quickly mounts up. If they don't have anything you really want then ask the staff and they'll order it in for you.
If you are bringing children, there is an Asda car park round the corner which can be used by shoppers so worth parking there. CJ Train station otherwise.
