Try Thame First !
Finalist in the Great British High Street Awards 2016

WHEN it seems that all shopping centres are just cloned copies of each other, Thame stands out with distinction.

Historic and eclectic, Thame retains its traditional High Street shopping experience. Mixing well known retail chains such as Fat Face, White Stuff and Robert Dyas with independent specialist shops, the town offers an excellent and refreshing way to buy both every-day and unusual products, all in a single visit. With the high levels of product knowledge and customer service that you only find in the smaller outlets, Thame’s shops can offer real added-value to any shopping trip.

On Tuesdays the town welcomes an open air market for a wide range of food and non-food items. Every second Tuesday in the month, this is supplemented by a Farmers’ Market offering local, farm fresh produce.

Unlike many other local towns, Thame adopts a car-friendly approach with extensive, and mostly free, car parking in the town centre close to the shops. There’s no need to struggle with heavy shopping over great distances in Thame. All the shops are within easy walking distance of each other. The pavements are wide and walking around this historic town is an enjoyable experience in itself.

Of course, Thame isn’t just about shopping. The town centre also contains a wide variety of pubs, restaurants, cafés and take-away outlets. (Places To Eat) There is also a generous mix of Banks and Building Societies, Estate Agents,  Accountants and Solicitors. It has even got that rare item nowadays – a Post Office.
