The countdown to the new school term has begun, and whether you're preparing for a first-ever school run or another year of packed lunches and permission slips, we're here to make the transition as smooth (and even fun!) as possible. From must-have kit to memory-making moments, Xscape is your one-stop destination for back-to-school prep with a twist.
GEAR UP IN STYLE
New year, new gear! As summer fades, swap flip-flops and towels for backpacks and waterproofs. Ellis Brigham and Trespass have everything from tough school bags and cosy jackets to PE kit essentials and all-weather shoes. With durable, practical gear built for busy school days and runs, your child will be ready, rain, shine, or muddy field. Need a standout backpack? Head to Trespass for a variety of bold colours and ergonomic designs as well as plenty room for books, snacks, and more.
SAFE JOURNEYS START HERE
Got a young cyclist in the family? Make sure their ride to school is smooth, safe, and ready for the road with a visit to Evans Cycles. From bike servicing and safety checks to helmets, locks and accessories, the Evans team are on hand to help your little commuter hit the road with confidence. Whether it’s a tune-up for a trusty old bike or a brand-new set of wheels for the new term, their experts will make sure everything is roadworthy and school-run ready.
MAKE A DAY OF IT
Let’s face it, Back to School shopping isn’t always met with enthusiasm. But at Xscape, you can turn the to-do list into a fun day out the whole family can enjoy! Once you’ve ticked off the essentials, keep the good vibes going with a climb at Gravity Rocks, a bounce at Gravity Active, or a round of adventure golf at Volcano Falls. Got little ones with energy to burn? Funstation is the perfect spot for games, giggles and post-shopping rewards.
