The Phoenix Emporium

I absolutely loved it here. A great collection of curios, clothes, jewellery records, books, furniture and more on sell on two floors with the bonus of a downstairs cafe. Well worth a visit.

Great indoor market with lots of vintage, retro, arts and crafts, books, CDs and vinyl, collectibles, memorabilia and a cafe. There are lots of stalls from different traders, although generally they are unmanned, and you just choose what you want and take it to pay at the till by the door as you leave. There is a car park, although it's within walking distance of the main Salisbury shopping centre, if you haven't bought anything too heavy

A lovely charming antiques place to visit with lots of things to look at. This is a big place with 2 floors with all sorts of items on sale. There is also a great coffee shop tucked away at the back, some really nice drinks and cakes available. This is a really interesting place to visit.

What a fabulous treasure trove! The amount of things are amazing! My children also love it , for me and my husband it’s a back to the future moment!

What a wonderful experience! Lots of traders and you can pick up literally anything... Really happy with our purchases.

Great gift ideas spread across multiple shelves and pop up boutiques.

I don’t think I have ever felt the need to rate anything so negatively. I have shopped here quite often and between myself and my family have spent hundreds, if not thousands over the past few months, hoping to find more treasures over the next year for my renovation & to support local businesses.
However, after my last visit I had left a couple of larger items (paid for) stored for a bit longer than they were happy with as I discovered today. I went in to collect today…… The reaction I got when I asked to collect almost made me cry! I felt like I had committed a crime, the venomous comments about how they had put my items (paid for) back on the shop floor for sale as they could not reach me ( I haven’t received any emails and had one voice mail message last week)
Glared at, made to feel so guilty - the place is half empty, so they certainly weren’t tight for space. I’m mortified and will never go back again.
I just couldn’t believe how I was treated today. Am still in complete shock.
How is this helping salisbury? A good, paying customer left feeling extremely upset. I have a child with a disability, live alone so have been waiting for someone to give me a hand with a van, and have been fairly unwell. With no opportunity to try and explain, I took my things and left. Never to return :( awful experience all round.

It wasn’t a great visit. The venue advertises “more than 100 stall holders” and that’s definitely not true. It looked like it opened yesterday… Half of the warehouse was empty. A very few stalls were offering quality items. Payment took ages as there is no system in place and the two ladies were typing everything in the computer. I was quite excited when I heard that such a big emporium is opening in Salisbury as I love Bygone Times in Ecclestone but this was a huge disappointment. There is a lot of space for improvement here… I will not be returning anytime soon.
