New Alpkit Ambleside Store open this weekend.

Our team has been busy putting the finishing touches to our second store in another of our fave outdoor locations - the Lake District - and it opens this weekend. After the fantastic feedback and success of our first store in Hathersage we are exicted about this next move. 

Our crew of staff are working hard to finish off the final finishing touches to bring a touch of Alpkit to the bustling Ambleside later this week and ready for the weekend. 

We really hope that we can do Ambleside justice and help maintain the long standing tradition it has as a key destination for those who enjoy getting outdoors. With a range of equipment to help cover activities from hill walking, fell running and wild swimming, to climbing and biking, we hope we'll fit in nicely amongst this awesome location that has so much to offer the outdoor lover. 

The new store will not only represent our full range of outdoor equipment, it will also consist of a dedicated room for our Sonder bikes too. We'll also be looking to bring other features of our Hathersage store including Repair Station (although due to space this may be more of a collection/drop-off service for all but the minor repairs) and a Bike Workshop. 

After the inital soft opening we will be organising some more offical weekend fun and activities for later in July, so keep an eye out for more information coming soon across our newsletter and Facebook Page.

We look forward to greeting you. So come down, check it out, have a chat, look at some of our kit and bikes. You'll find us at:
