A great store for people who like to go outdoors, climbing, fishing, camping, hiking. Whatever you…read morelike to do outdoors, you will find what you need here. Friendy people, great gear! Have fun, be safe!

I love this place. Excellent range, reasonable prices, and absolutely fanatical but friendly staff…read more Even better they have all the little twiddly accessories that a lot of other places don't have - the kind of things that are small, but can make a big difference. Very often specialist shops can have staff that think they are über cool for working there - not here, eager to help without being intrusive, and they chat to you about the product without trying to get you to buy - which is great - they provide the info and let you come to your own decision. This doesn't seem to be an exclusive to the Birmingham store - the Manchester one is similar. I'd thoroughly reccomend 10/10.

Impressive caravan, campervan and camping store…read more In the area for a wedding, we were going camping afterwards and we still needed a groundsheet. I googled it and found Jacksons Of Old Arley. My partner was getting a bit worried as we weaved our way through some West Midlands countryside. "Are you sure its this way?" he asks. "Um, yes" I answer sheepishly. We turn a corner and there it is. "Phew" I think to myself. The place is massive. Outside there is a caravan and campervan dealership, I assume is the same people run this business too. Inside the Jacksons warehouse it seems to house everything you could possibly need for the caravan, campervan or camping holiday. Ground sheet sourced, I then find the clothing section and find myself some good bargains. There was sale discounts on lots of great items. They kindly let me use their facilities too, which was welcome :-o Recommended.

The North Face in Birmingham is a fairly small store by the company's standards in comparison to…read moreother stores but is still a decent size, located in Birmingham's Bullring. I came in here for a quick browse at the latest fashion, The North Face is mainly a brand of high-quality outdoor gear for those who aren't aware of the brand. The staff in the store didn't seem too friendly or helpful, compared to other stores where staff are normally really friendly and down to a chat about the products and more. I did find the selection lacked a little, the store didn't seem empty it just seemed to be more stock of the same or similar items than usual but I guess that could be down to summer approaching and in many ways, The North Face is surely a brand for the winter. 2*

It's been a while since I've seen a new skate shop pop up in town and this one pleases me, the…read morefolks inside certainly know what you'll be asking when looking at new decks, the ply of the board, truck set size, wheel bases and they're happy to complete a full set up on any purchases, grip taping and all. Although not the cheapest wares I've seen knocking around (few other stores have some prefabs for the price of just a deck here) I'd guess by the looks this store is aiming for the quality of higher end decks and the personal touch. Clothes wise there is a small selection of shirts, t's, hoodies, jackets, backpacks and trainers, enough for a good day or two's outfits but price wise it certainly is at the top end of the high street. Have a feeling that once the Christmas debt is cleared I'll be making a couple of visits here!

With all the changes to Oasis I always feel more confused than ever about navigating parts of this…read moreplace. I'm saying this as Targets Zone is tucked around the back of level 2 behind Dolly Rockers body piercing. I love looking round army and navy type stores but be warned this place only has the occasional used military surplus item but they do seem to have more than they can fit in their shop if you check the website. If you are looking for tactical webbing type stuff then you can find it here and they have a range of items for kids who may want to start role playing after having played too much Call of Duty. This is a great way to see a wide range of air soft guns and cross bows. Unless you are buying off a website or a dodgy looking car boot it can be hard to see what you are really getting or find anywhere that you can go check them out. Here you can.
