Hi,
Cabot Circus is lovely (and I normally hate malls) & you are looking for designer shops so should be fine. I like their massive Christmas decorations. I like it but haven't found it too good for 'money saving' ie not lots of bargins?! The old Frasers in Broadmead is now an enormus Primark which might be worth a look.

Don't know whether its still available or not but was in House of Fraser and popped in for afternoon tea in their cafe place on top floor. Tea, sandwiches, scones clotted cream etc, think it was 6.95 or so for one but £8 for two, beautifully presented, calming room from the hustle and bustle at least at 4pm and cheaper than all the chains dotted around the rest of cabot circus

I notice you asked about TK Maxx - they are on the top floor of The Galleries, next to the big food place. Have you thought about where you are going to park - I notice you are coming up from Plymouth? You might want to consider the park & ride - Avonmouth is just off J18 off the M5. Just be careful of the roadworks over the Avonmouth Bridge (they have nearly finished) - 50mph - keep to it.
