Bristol Sports Shops

With two football teams, a lively rugby and cricket scene, and the opportunity to do pretty much any sport you care to mention, it’s no surprise that Bristol has a broad selection of sports shops that enables the amateur sportsperson to buy all the equipment they need. Whilst there are large JD Sports and JJB Sports in Cabot Circus, we’d suggest travelling (or maybe running/cycling?) a bit further afield to check out all the independent sports shops that the city has to offer.

Whether you’re into jogging, martial arts, mountain biking or surfing, there are sport shops in Bristol to suit every taste. Particularly good is Veals fishing tackle shop in the building opposite the main Gardiner Haskins store. This second-floor showroom is stocked from floor to ceiling with just about any fishing paraphernalia an angler could ever want.
