Allum and Sidaway

📍 20 Minster Street, Salisbury, SP1 1TF

The story of our #SaturdaySpotlight this week began over eighty years ago when the founder of Allum & Sidaway, Dennis Allum, started mending clocks and watches from his garden shed. Fast-forward to the present day and Dennis's grandson, Jason Allum, is now at the helm. Under Jason's guidance, Allum & Sidaway has grown into a thriving business with six branches and many awards to its name. On the corner of the Market Square, their elegant Salisbury store is managed by Luke Pope (pictured) who looks after the day-to-day running of this local jewellery boutique. 

As a family-run business, there is a genuine passion for family and relationships. It is important to Jason to get to know each member of his team and his son, Jack, is also involved in the business. This personal touch extends to every aspect of their service. Whether a customer is purchasing a simple pair of earrings or choosing their engagement ring, they receive the same level of care and attention. This commitment to their customers is what has won them so many awards and is one of the many reasons they've become such a trusted local name.

It's not just about selling jewellery and keepsakes, it's about being part of the special moments in their customers' lives. From engagements and weddings to anniversaries and birthdays, they have helped countless customers to mark their most significant milestones with important pieces that will be treasured for years to come. 

You'll find beautiful pieces to suit all tastes and budgets here, whether you're looking for a delicate bracelet or an investment piece, prices range from as little as £20 all the way up to over £20,000. The extensive range means you're bound to find something that suits, be it classic elegance, contemporary chic or something entirely unique. 

They also offer jewellery valuations and repairs, ear piercing, watch servicing, interest-free credit, bespoke jewellery design and a new addition of permanent jewellery!

Up on the first floor, you'll find their flagship bridal boutique where they stock a range of beautiful dresses and accessories for brides-to-be. Those looking to tie the knot can book an appointment where you'll be well looked after by their dedicated team so you can relax and have fun finding the perfect gown for the big day. You will finish off the day's excitement with a glass of locally sourced bubbles from Artisan Wine and Spirit Co across the Market Square.

Their magnificent Salisbury store is a beautiful place to visit and stands out as a shining example of what can be achieved when passion, family and craftsmanship all work together. For the last eighty years they have been a part of their customers' stories and hope to continue this tradition into the future.
