SEE YOU OUT THERE Ellis Brigham reveals its newly expanded Cambridge store
C ambridge’s outdoor enthusiasts have a new reason to celebrate as Ellis Brigham reopens the doors to its newly renovated and expanded store on 28 May. Fourteen years after arriving in the city, the esteemed outdoor retailer returns bigger and better than ever, located on the first floor at the corner of Lion Yard Shopping Centre and the Grand Arcade. To mark the occasion, the first 50 customers will receive a free gift worth £20, with further in-store events planned throughout the season. From inspiring adventure talks to sociable run clubs, Ellis Brigham is ensuring the store is a hub for the local outdoor community. Details of events will be shared online, so do keep an eye on the website. Ellis Brigham’s story stretches back to 1933, when Frederick Ellis Brigham opened his first store and quickly built a reputation as the go-to destination for expert boot fitting. Over the decades, that knowledge and passion for the outdoors has grown to encompass everything from hiking and trail running to wild camping, skiing, snowboarding, climbing and travel. Still proudly family-owned and run, the business is led by Frederick’s grandsons, continuing the founder’s commitment to expertise, quality and adventure. While top-tier products utilising the latest innovations are at the heart of the
store, the real difference lies in the people. The Cambridge team is packed with genuine enthusiasts who live and breathe the outdoors. The store manager Art is a keen ultrarunner and skier, while other team members bring hands-on experience in snowboarding, climbing and travel. Whether you’re planning your next big adventure or just want some honest advice, customers are always welcome to pop in for a chat. Looking ahead towards this summer, sustainability and sun protection are key trends. Highlights include Keen’s PFAS- free Targhee Apex footwear, made using recycled materials, and travel clothing ranges with built-in UV protection such as Craghoppers’ Solar Shield Plus and Patagonia’s Capilene Cool Sun range. With its expanded space, expert team and community-focused approach, the new Ellis Brigham Cambridge store is set to become an essential stop for anyone who loves spending time outdoors.
