A HIGH street clothing shop is set to close down half a dozen branches – and it's launched a huge sale.

Outdoor clothing retailer Trespass is pulling the shutters down on six stores, with one closing for good this weekend.

Its branch in Washington Square, Workington, will close on Sunday, July 9, according to local news reports.

Meanwhile, its store in Chesterfield will open for the final time on November 18, Derbyshire Times reports.

But four other stores, including one in Canterbury and Solihull, are also marked for closures, according to reports.

Huge signs advertising a closing down sale have appeared in shop windows with the tagline, "everything must go".

It specialises in outdoor clothing, accessories and essentials like tents, sleeping bags and hiking gear.

The Sun has approached Trespass for comment.

The high street has been hit hard in recent years due to the growth of online retailing which was accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, runaway inflation means shoppers are holding back from spending as much.

It comes as research from the British Retail Consortium reveals retailers remain cautious about opening new stores.

It found the overall shop vacancy rate in Britain in the first three months of 2023 was 13.8%, the same as the last three months of 2022.

New Look, Argos and Habitat are among some of the retailers closing stores in July.

We have put together a guide to all the stores closing this month so you can check if your favourite store is leaving the high street.
