Supporting lots of our front line services.
Staff are always brilliant in this store.
I really appreciate the fact you support our Armed Forces, Blue Light services and our future by discounting for DofE candidates.
The Bury store is always immaculate and some of your price reductions bring outdoor activities to a wider audience. The more time we spend outdoors the better, IMO.

Searching for supplies
I went into the store looking for some supplies for a hiking trip. Charlie and Neal were very helpful with helping me find the supplies. One showed me where to look when I entered the store. The other helped me upstairs compare the different equipment. I was very happy with my purchase.

First class service from Joe
Joe helped me choose the right walking boots. Didn’t push me into spending loads of money. Just made sure I had the perfect ones.
He helped me choose a rucksack for my partner. Brilliant customer service.

Excellent shopping experience
Charlie was so helpful to us and found exactly the fleece I was looking for with no rush and no pressure. Saved me spending a frustrating time rifling through the many rails. Altogether a happy experience.
