In the heart of Sidmouth, Fields has been part of the town’s story for over 200 years.
First opened in 1809 as a draper’s shop, Fields began life serving a growing seaside town that was fast becoming a destination for visitors and residents alike.
From those early days, the business has continually evolved, growing alongside Sidmouth while remaining rooted in traditional values of quality, service and care.
Fields has always been shaped by the times.
Through world wars, changing fashions and the evolution of retail, the business adapted while staying true to what mattered most — serving its customers with care and attention to detail.
From handmade garments and dressmaking to ready-to-wear fashion, and from traditional counter service to a modern shopping experience, Fields has continually evolved to meet the needs of its customers.
In 2015, Fields became part of the Goulds family, bringing together two independent retailers with a shared passion for quality, service and tradition.
For generations, Fields has been more than just a shop.
It has been part of daily life in Sidmouth — supporting the local community, welcoming visitors, and providing a friendly, personal shopping experience that has stood the test of time.
Even today, many customers return year after year, drawn by the same values that have defined Fields for over two centuries.
