Hi , are there any decent tackle shops left in the north west ? Anywhere with a bivvys / bedchairs setup ?
I'm guilty of buying my end tackle of eBay nowadays but fancied a drive out to have a look , I'm just out of touch with if there are any decent shops still about now . I miss stapeley water gardens

Total Angling in Shrewsbury has a good few set up and is well stocked for other bits.When Stapeley moved to Crewe they had a huge room with loads set up but not sure if they do now it's Fishing Republic

Cheers dude . I forgot about total angling , I do go in there from time to time .
I went in the new stapeley shop not long after they moved but felt a bit disappointed. In hindsight I think I was just comparing to the old shop

That's some distance from me . Iv just been looking at the fishing republic Crewe page on Facebook , from what I can see they still have bivvies setup in the back . It's bedchairs I'm most interested in though tbh

They used to have the bedchairs in the bivvies but if they have got them in stock they will normally let you have a look at them

Even smaller shops will have plenty of bedchairs. When I bought mine a few years ago from Nathans in Stoke, they must have had at least 12 different bedchairs/sleep systems, all folded up obviously. I must have tried half of them in the shop before I found one I liked!!! I even saw someone trying some out at the local Go Outdoors last which isn't the biggest store I've seen.

Gerrys in Morecambe have a few set up, I bought a frontier from them that wasn't set up but they were happy to set it up to show me along with about 3 others I was thinking about.

Appreciate it's too far for the OP but in case it helps others Future Fishing have loads of bivvies and bedchairs set up on the mezzanine floor upstairs
Again, know it's not North West but Bobco in Leeds are a bit further north than Future Fishing and looks like they're a decent size too. I'm heading into Leeds tomorrow so if I get a chance to pay a visit I'll report back on what they have.
