I need to connect this:

To two of these Speakers (one as left, one as right):

Complete noob when it comes to audio set-ups so I need to know what cables I will need and any other useful info.

id hazard a guess at speaker cable.
strip the ends bare and insert into the clamps on the back of the speakers and then tie round the posts on the amp and screw down the cap.
be sure to observe polarity is the same on both speakers.

Got it sorted now, the silver ones above the +ve -ve ones are 6.3mm audio jacks. The one on the left is input, the one on the right is for 'piggybacking' another speaker (on the speaker, on the amp it's just L/R).

I connected a 6.3mm monitor headphone cable to the amp for now jobs done. Just need to buy some decent cables tomorrow.

Thanks for the quick help

As well as jacks and binding posts you also appear to have speakON connectors, which are the bee's knees. Fully insulated on the outside and no risk of momentarily shorting the amp when plugging stuff in, and they also twist and lock so you can't pull them out by accident. Your amp won't sound better or worse but the connector is far superior to a jack or bare cables.

Normal 13A mains cable (using 2 of the 3 conductors) works great for speakers too. I wire up all the recording studios here that still use passive speakers with it and it's great. I also tin the ends which means you get a nice tight fitting and no stray strands. It's a complete waste of money being sucked into the audiophile world with fancy cables.

So yeah it doesn't matter what you use really. Cheapest, easiest option is mains cable with bare ends into the binding posts on amp and speakers. Best 'practice' would be using speakONs on the amp and jacks on the speakers if you know there's a chance of stuff being pulled/stressed in that area.

Also, banana plugs are absolutely evil, freshly squeezed from the bum of Satan himself. You don't see them that often on modern gear, but they used to be everywhere.

Here it don't get easier than this

with the exception on your speakers you have the square connectors. Just push down on the tab at the bottom (spring loaded) and slide the cable in the now open hole , then release.
