Whirligig Toys is a dog-friendly independent toy shop on South Street in the heart of Chichester, a short walk from the cathedral quarter and handy for browsing between errands or a longer mooch around the city centre.

The shop is listed as dog-friendly by Chichester BID and has its own shop dog, Lottie, so four-legged company is welcomed as you browse the shelves. It's the sort of place where you can potter with the lead looped over your wrist while someone picks out a gift or the children linger over the latest must-have. There's no dedicated customer parking, but you'll find town-centre car parks nearby.

Whirligig sits among other independent shops in one of Chichester's most visitor-friendly streets, making it a natural stop when you're keeping the dog with you for the day rather than leaving them behind in the car.
