Have you paid a visit to Bull Yard in Southwell lately? If not, you may be surprised at the number of new shops and businesses, who have joined the firm favourites in this little gem of a shopping arcade in the centre of town.

Conveniently nestled between King and Queen Street, the beautiful cobbled walkway is now home to some exciting and varied retail outlets.

Get Active this Summer

Best Sports opened its doors in 2014 and stocks a wide range of sports equipment and clothing including tennis, squash, hockey, rugby, football, cricket, running, bowls and swimming as well as great selection of sports clothing and the very popular ‘On’ running shoes. On’s patented CloudTec® technology is engineered to deliver a soft landing followed by an explosive take-off. The result? An unbelievably light running sensation. And no compromise on cushioning and impact protection. In other words, running on clouds. To celebrate Wimbledon there is also currently up to 40% off tennis rackets and tennis shoes until the end of July.
