Amazing customer service
We went in to look for a tent and was instantly greated by Adam . He was very quick to help as we had mentioned about getting a tent and not knowing which one. He was able to give us lots of information about different tents and which one would be the best fit. He really made our experience quick and easy.

AVOID! Appalling customer service
My daughter bought a four man tent which broke on first use. Returned to the Aintree, Liverpool store where the sales assistant explained that a broken tent pole did not constitute a faulty tent. Not only did he refuse to replace or refund but his manner was rude and condescending. Absolutely shocking from a company I previously regarded as reputable. I would avoid like the plague from now on.
