Great service, and stock availability

Really impressed with the whole experience at this store. Needed to buy kit for my son’s Summer Scout Camp. It was so refreshing to find a store that actually has lot’s of sizes available in stock. Sophie helped us to choose hiking boots and she was fantastic; super knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks.

We came to get advice about camping dining furniture!

We came to get advice about camping chairs and tables for our Motorhome.
Anya helped us by setting up a table and moving various chairs around to check seat heights etc. Anya was very patient, knew her stuff and had great knowledge of Go Outdoors products.
Would definitely recommend Anya if you are looking out for camping kit/furniture!

Helpful staff

We were looking for a bag in a certain colour that was in stock but not on the shop floor. Carol, on till, and Emily, in warehouse, communicated and found it for us. Great service and we were happy to come away with what we wanted.

Bike purchase

Great experience purchasing a bike for my son. Was able to make contact via phone easily, was kept up to date with the status of my order and was very impressed with Terry in particular who assembled the bike, informed me about how my warranty etc and took the time to explain how elements of the bike work. Terry (bikes) was professional, helpful and just made the whole process run smoothly. Would recommend this store to others!

Shopping with go outdoors is satisfactory

Although the experience was good I was a bit put out by not recieving an email of the tracking details of my delivery to go outdoors which I usually receive I can only imagine that the store and royal mail are extremely busy with the run up to the bank holiday weekend but that doesn't justify not receiving an email. The service overall from go outdoors is very good and it has been for years as I've been shopping with go outdoors for at least 15 to 20 years on and off and I've not encountered many issues in that time.
