Mention Cambridge in the same sentence as the word ‘sport’ and people will almost certainly think of the annual Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race that first took place in 1829. Whilst the River Cam does offer an excellent destination for rowing, the city is home of many more sporting activities and this has ensured that numerous Cambridge sports shops still thrive. Football, rugby, cricket and tennis are all popular sports in and around the city - and Cambridge is also able to boast 2 Real Tennis courts at the university.
Specialist Cambridge sports shops are dotted all over the city. These include Hobbs Sports in Sydney Street and The Sweatshop in Norman Way. Top Spin Tennis is based at the Cambridge Lawn Tennis Club and offers its customers a good choice of equipment and clothing. If football is your favourite sport, The Football Store at Cambridge United Football Club is worth a visit. As well as selling replica team kits they also have plenty of football gifts and accessories on sale. Check out the details of all these Cambridge sports shops below.
