Visit Our Kayak Stores in Runcorn & Llangollen
Both our stores are fully-stocked demo centres, letting you try gear before you buy - perfect for finding your ideal fit and paddling style.
Go Kayaking Runcorn is one of the North West's leading kayak and canoe shops, serving paddlers across Cheshire, Warrington, Manchester and beyond. Our Llangollen store sits right on the River Dee in North Wales - one of the UK's best whitewater kayaking locations - making it the perfect place to try a kayak before you buy.
Both stores are fully stocked demo centres. You can try kayaks, canoes and paddleboards on the water before committing to a purchase - something you simply can't do buying online. Our team are experienced paddlers who kayak and canoe regularly on local rivers and lakes, so the advice you get is genuinely informed.
