Established in 1955 The Sports Shop & Toymaster is the original and largest sports & toy retailer on the Isle o

f Wight. They had Tennis Courts, a Pitch & Putt course and a Table Tennis room. They then started selling rackets and operating a re-stringing service until 1955 when they purchased a house in Regent Street, this was then converted into The Sports Shop. Over the years the two adjoining houses came up for sale and were purchased by Geoff and Elsie and so the business as it is today was born. In the early 1970’s Geoff and Elsie retired and their son Nigel took over the running of the business with his wife Janet. The business now consists of two shops,one in Shanklin & one in Ryde, including the Isle of Wight's largest selection of toys under the Toymaster banner.
