Fred Aldous

About

We have 25,000 art, craft, photography and gift products over three floors, but you’ll find we are much more than simply a great place to shop.

Story

We are located right in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter, just a short walk from Manchester Piccadilly and Victoria train stations and Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens.

We have 25,000 products in 10,000 square feet of space over three floors, but you’ll find we are much more than simply a great place to shop. On the ground floor you will be welcomed by two working vintage chemical photo booths, one colour, one black and white. And in the sub-basement you can hire our laser studio or book one of the many craft courses run by our friends at the Ministry of Craft.

Trading for 130 years, we have everything you need to make anything you want.

"Our story began in Manchester in 1886 with a man called Fred. In the 130+ years since the start of Fred Aldous we've grown into one of the leading arts, crafts and Hobby suppliers in the UK. Offering one of the largest range of products available. We now stock close to 30,000 different products to suit any type of art or craft activity."
