A Newsquest Cumbria reader is the proud owner of a pair of hiking boots after winning a competition.

Anthony Quinn came out top in the competition to win a boot-fitting experience and a pair of boots from Ellis Brigham in Keswick.

Anthony visited the independent, family-owned and run outdoor retailer, which opened its 5000 ft2 store at Kings Head Court in Keswick in April 2025, to collect his prize.

Ellis Brigham has built an enviable reputation over the last 90 years for offering trustworthy advice and authentic outdoor gear to like-minded people who share their passion for climbing, running or hiking.

Ellis Brigham's director, Mark Brigham, whose grandfather founded the business in 1933, said: "We believe in offering a premium service and to do this we prioritise our staff knowledge, customer service and product range.

"We equip our teams with the knowledge to understand our customers' requirements and identify products that meet those needs.

"We regularly get lovely comments about our teams; genuine appreciation for the way we go above and beyond in what we do.

"The in-store and on-the-fells events we organise serve to underline our commitment to inspire our customers to get out there and form an important part of our unique offering."
