Your Summer of Outdoor Fun Starts Here at Marriotts Walk

There’s nothing quite as frustrating as being stuck inside on a sunny day – so this summer, be ready to make the most of every moment with the right gear.

The sun’s out, the sky is clear, but you can’t find anything comfortable to wear – or you’re unsure what to do once you’re out there.

Don’t wait until those perfect mornings when sunlight pours through your window. Start planning now: how you want to spend your summer, and how you want to show up for it.

Forget saving outfits for holidays – in our wonderfully unpredictable climate, you’ll want summer-ready clothing at your fingertips. When the sun makes an appearance, you’ll be glad you did.

Pick Your Outdoor Passion – and Gear Up Now

Making the most of your free time starts with a little planning – and sometimes, that just means getting the right gear. If you often catch yourself wondering how to take advantage of good weather, it might be time to find a hobby that gets you outside.

While some outdoor pursuits can be pricey, there are plenty of budget-friendly options – and walking tops the list. It’s great for your health, boosts your mood, and helps you soak up that all-important vitamin D.

You could also try cycling, running, tennis, football, or even gardening – all easy ways to stay active outdoors. Or, if you’re after more adventure, consider rock climbing, paddleboarding, or kayaking. Whatever you choose, plan ahead and dive in – your next favourite activity could be just around the corner.

Dress for Success: Choosing the Right Clothing for Outdoor Activities

What you wear outdoors can make all the difference to how much you enjoy your time outside. The right activewear is built for comfort, breathability, and protection – whether you’re facing a cool breeze, summer sun, or a surprise rain shower.

While it might be tempting to throw on an old t-shirt and jeans, investing in proper gear can keep you comfortable and motivated. The wrong outfit can turn an enjoyable activity into a frustrating experience.

Layering is key: start with a breathable base layer, add a warm insulating mid-layer, and finish with a reliable waterproof jacket.

For walking, opt for durable, water-resistant trousers. Running? Choose tights that keep muscles warm and support freedom of movement. Cyclists should look for padded shorts for comfort and snug-fitting clothing for safety and performance.

Footwear matters just as much. Running shoes provide crucial cushioning and lower-leg support, while hiking boots deliver comfort, stability, and grip. Look for technical fabrics to help regulate temperature and keep your feet cool and dry.

With the right outfit, you’ll feel ready to take on whatever the outdoors throws at you.

At Marriotts Walk you will be able to find an excellent choice of outdoor gear and active wear at Trespass, with more sporty gear at Sports Direct, while FatFace has a good selection of fashions that compliment an active and outdoors lifestyle. Marks and Spencer also offers an affordable range of active wear.

And for those warm summer evenings, why not pick up a new dress? No one wants to overheat in their winter wear when the sun is in full force.
