Second hand book sale

Included in general admission

Named as ‘Manchester’s best second-hand book sale‘.

Named as ‘Manchester’s best second-hand book sale‘, the Elizabeth Gaskell’s House second-hand book sale is a must visit for book lovers.

The sale is held within Manchester’s very own literary House and there are two rooms packed full of second-hand books of all genres.

You can browse a wide variety of good quality reading. We have contemporary fiction, crime, thrillers, classics, OS maps, biographies, history and children’s books.

Pick up some new reading every second Sunday of the month.

With new stock every month there are always literary treasures to be found!

Entry to the book-sale is included in admission to the House (tickets valid for 12 months).

All money raised from admissions and the sales of books goes towards the running costs of this Grade II* listed building, ensuring the House can stay open to the public. The House is run by Manchester Historic Buildings Trust, registered Charity Number: 1080606.

This listing is supplied by one of our museum partners and is not moderated by Art Fund.
