Lying 40 miles to the North East of Manchester, Wakefield is lucky to have two excellent shopping centres – The Ridings and Trinity Walk. The latter is the newer development with space for fifty multiple stores including several well-known sports retailers. Many customers however, prefer to shop in some of Wakefield’s independent sports shops like GTP Cycles that offers extensive repair facilities as well as a great choice of cycles for adults and kids.
Not far away in the Wakefield suburb of Normanton is the base of Urban Sports. They wholesale their high quality sports team kits to retailers all around the UK. If camping and hiking are more your thing, Kenmar Camping & Leisure in Pontefract Road can sell you tents, walking boots, sleeping bags and hundreds of other camping accessories. Runners usually make straight for Up & Running in Northgate for the latest in shoe designs and clothing.
