The 20 Best Sporting goods in Chichester

“Staff here are so kind and helpful. I’m regularly spending my money on new hiking/camping gear and clothes as the seasons change. Would recommend this branch over other branches, it’s much more personable than the other more expensive hiking shops in Chichester.”

“Just left the Chichester store a happier person. I find it extremely difficult shoe shopping at the best of times. However when you are a woman that needs size 9 shoes and you are recovering from a broken bone I didn't hold much hope at all. I was totally blown away by the fantastic help and advice that I received by the supervisor staff at Chichester. I wasn't made to feel rushed or under pressure to purchase which made me want to buy in-store without even searching the internet for alternative offers. Awesome service from the best outdoor shop in Chichester.”

“Love the new shop! Game included... very nice! Thank you Maddie for helping me find the right Air Max shoes in my size!”

“Bracklesham Boardriders has to be the best kitesurf shop I have dealt with. The owner Craig has helped on numerous occasions re buying equipment, big or small - his knowledge is second to none. As a result, this place is my first port of call, whether for advice or to buy new equipment - even though I live a good 100 miles away. Emails are always replied to quickly, postage of items bought are received promptly, and updates of delivery are efficient - these guys are brilliant.”

“I can’t recommend ESP enough. This shop is second to none when it comes to advice and customer service. Jamie who runs the shop genuinely cares more about getting the product that is right for his customer above all else, even if that means no sale. He treats all his customers with respect no matter what their age. He asks all the right questions to find out what his customers really need, weighing up the pros and cons as he goes. I watched and listened as a Dad who knows less than his 12 yr old son about scooters, with a mix pride and intrigue as Jamie and Oliver discussed all his options and weighed up the right thing for him. As a result, a kid with a scooter that he is proud of and knows is right for him, a better educated Dad and a happy Jamie who got to do his masterclass in customer service yet again. Thanks Jamie!”

“A great introduction to paddle boarding. Ian and Amy made the session really fun and the grandkids were so impressed they were able to stand up on their first go, although they did take a couple of unplanned dips! They didn’t stop talking about it all the way home. Highly recommend Ian and Amy, they had a relaxed fun way of teaching. Thanks for a great afternoon.”

“Popped in to get some running shoes and from the first second to last I was overwhelmed by how friendly and knowledgeable the young lad was that looked after me. Got some great shoes that are suitable for my feet. I highly recommend this shop. Service was exceptional! The quality of products they have to offer as well as shoes are great.”

“I recommend highly the ‘Little Rippers Surfing Course for 5-7 year-olds. 2 hours for £60 and they all learned to catch waves and stand up! Sam delivered the boards to the kids and the tuition team was led by Simon with Tom and Ted. So three teachers for seven children on our course which was a great ratio. An energy-packed couple of hours with all the kit provided and after-swim facilities too. Four places left for their 9.15am course on Friday 16th August. Here’s an excerpt from their website: “All of the learning is made easier and safer through the use of soft 9 foot longboards with flexible rubber fins. West Wittering frequently provides small waves which are perfect for the first steps in surfing. The waves generally appear a few hours before high tide (this is when the surf lessons are scheduled) We provide children with everything they need to participate, including a high-quality, single lined glued and blind-stitched wetsuit. We also have a warm, dry club house with hot showers, changing rooms and as much tea and coffee as you want so you can eat your lunch in comfort. In fact, the only thing you need to bring is your towel. All of our instructors are fully qualified and are hand-picked to ensure you have the best learning experience – plenty of fun whilst still learning! All instructors carry UHF radios, we have jet-ski rescue and there are life-guards on West Wittering beach in the summer months.””

“Since my 9 year old boy has taken up cricket and is now playing regularly for his club and school, this wonderful shop is my go-to for all his kit. They have a great range of kit and whites for junior sizes and I can get everything he needs from here. Staff are really friendly and helpful too. It's a bit off the beat and track, out of the city centre but Maps leads you to It's location well and there is plenty of parking. They also have a good range of clothes and kit for other sports. Highly recommended.”

“Huge thanks to the guys at Boardshop for their great advice and for recommending the Torq M23. As an older, low-average surfer who spends time at The Wave Bristol, this board has been a brilliant fit. Friendly, knowledgeable, and amazing service all round – couldn’t recommend them more!”

“Great company.. had problems finding a wetsuit to fit me. Tried a few sizes...Chris was a great help. Quick postage quick transactions. Will be back again! Merry Xmas all..”

“Visited Blacks in Chichester yesterday to purchase a pair of Meindl Mens Walking Boots… not only was the lady who served me extremely knowledgeable about the products, her customer service was above & beyond expectations, unfortunately I didn’t get her name. I will definitely be visiting them again for my next purchase.”

“Great service, really good waffles and a decent selection of ice cream. The coffee is good too”

“I needed a new water bottle and came across this brand on instagram. I liked the colour and the bamboo lid design. It does what it says, keeps my water nice and cool during my training. Really cool logo too. Are you guys thinking of bringing out mens sportswear?”

“Legend. Leigh is super helpfull and a great guy.”

“Ordered goods via phone a while ago. Good service”

“Great selection of running shoes and knowledgeable staff. Bradley was super helpful.”

“On Sunday 19th May, I popped into the store my first time in a Sweaty Betty store a young girl was working alone and was serving multiple customers yet I still felt like the only customer there. She was quick, friendly and very professional. She gave me a great recommendation I am very happy with the top, so happy I shall be popping in to buy more. Thank you (sorry I didn't get your name )”
