The Benefits of Our Free Click & Collect Service
If you already have a favourite style, heel, or fit in mind, our Click & Collect service is the easiest way to make sure you get exactly what you want—without worrying about stock selling out during the competition.
How it works:
1️⃣ Shop online as usual and choose the ‘Gillingham Collection’ option at checkout.
2️⃣ Use a UK address (such as your hotel in Gillingham) so the collection option appears.
3️⃣ Pick up at the event—it’s that simple!
With our range being so extensive, we can’t bring every style in every size. This service guarantees your pair will be ready and waiting for you so you can focus on dancing, not shopping.
