Extremely knowledgeable and helpful

The customer service was second to none.
I needed a replacement tent pole and Lewis and James , with their expert knowledge spent 45 mins fixing my existing tent pole saving me a lot of of money. They laid all the poles out on the floor and worked together to piece it together.
Brilliant service.
It is so refreshing to retail workers who are passionate and knowledgeable about their products.
I would highly recommend this shop .

3 weeks in of the school holidays

I visited today and my kids (and me) loved the colouring station set up.

Shopping with 2 kids is never easy but this was a life saver. I could get what I needed without them saying I’m bored.

Amazing service from the staff as always 🤩

Proper Canny Staff

These guys are awesome! The store itself (Gateshead Metrocentre) is a really decent size and is very well stocked. I have a tent that ripped at a recent festival and Josh, who served me, was super knowledgeable. We decided the tent probably can't be repaired, but he wasn't pushy at all in terms of selling me another tent. He listened to what I needed and gave me excellent advice. Got some banging hiking boots too after recommendations from a canny lass (I didn't catch her name, apologies).
Will definitely be stocking up there in future!

Exceptional advice from James

I've been looking for walking boots for ages, mainly due to my odd shaped feet..... I've tried lots of. places over an extended period of time including LD mountain centre, with no luck. Until I met James at the Metrocentre shop. What a fantastic, knowledgeable and approachable guy. He was so patient and took time to both listen and to explain my different options. I had an idea of what I wanted when I went in and tried on several pairs but James suggested a pair of Meindl and they are perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for new boots- he's a real asset to your firm.

Finding the right shoe

Struggled for some time to get a walking shoe with a wide fit. Daniel was knowledgeable and super helpful in finding me just what I needed.Unfortunately I am between sizes and many styles don't come in half sizes.
However On my second visit Tom went above and beyond informing me that my preferred shoe was available in a half size but only through the makers website. What a generous act, putting customer support front and centre, I can't thank him enough.

Bag fitting with James

James was so helpful in fitting us for our bags ahead of our trip to Bali in a few weeks. He didn’t pressure us to spend outside of our budget and was really knowledgeable on what would suit our needs best. Thanks again James :)
