A free repair, on us
The idea of extending the life of your gear is nothing new to us. Back in 1933, at our first store in North Manchester, we were already encouraging customers to repair their kit. A sign above the shop proudly read: "Bring Your Repairs Here."
Whether it’s a jacket that needs a patch or your favourite hiking trousers need a new zip slider, we’re here to help.
Bring your clean, washed outdoor clothing to us on Saturday, 26 July between 10:00 and 16:00. Our skilled repairers will assess the item and, in most cases, carry out the repair on the day. One repair per person.
