A proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopThe day was saved
I had a last minute photoshoot in Harrogate and forgot my camera flash - spotted Bass and Bligh on Google with half an hour to go before closing and made a mad dash to the store. The day was saved - new flash purchased at a very reasonable rate. Would 100% visit again if in the area, shop had so much stock and good looking kit.
Dave C.Bought a flashgunBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..

Thomas R.Bought a Sigma 150-600mmA customer for over 20 years
Superb, friendly service by two guys who always make me feel welcome - fairly priced camera equipment and a good knowledge to back it up. I have been a customer of Bass & Bligh for over 20 years and they have never let me down.
