Top Haberdasherys in Manchester, United Kingdom

Love this shop, even if to just browse all the art supply's and the the staff are always super friendly and helpful

An artist's wonderland. So many craft and art supplies at a fair price. Also really good to pick up a quirky gift.

My daughter was desperate to visit the Fred Aldous store. The Manchester store is huge with over 5000 stock items! If you need any funky gifts or items for drawing, painting, card work or practically anything creative, you will likely find it here.

Nostalgic return to this shop. Remember being like an Aladdins cave of all things craft wise. What you couldn't buy wasn't worth talking about. Today's trip was hugely disappointing. Just a fraction of the stuff that used to be available, lots of overpriced tat on the ground floor, with the basement offering small selections of arts n craft stuff that can easily and cheaper be found at hobbycraft. A HUGE disappointment. I won't be returning.

Great for all art supplies, with a huge variety of high quality brands and stationary. Would recommend to any artists looking for materials, especially with it's wide range. You can find lower prices on some products in nearby stores though.

Great place with cool stuff. I would give five stars if it was not for the arrogant staff with glasses and moustache. I was in line of one of the three cashier counters, which there was no instruction saying you have to line up from the counter furthest from the entrance. I never tried to cut in line, just thought you wait in line of the next available cashier. Don't like his attitude and I've always met nice people here except for him, what a shame

Perfect place for creatives! Colourful and exciting.

Large space with a few floors filled with all sorts of fun items. Art and craft supplies, stationery, materials, and tools. Great finds for gift giving.

Worth a visit if you are not in a rush. Can spend a good while browsing through everything.

Lovely and kind staff, happy to help if you are looking for specifics.

Fantastic store for any creative person! Everything you will ever need as a painter or artist of any kind. Three floors in total. Absolutely worth a visit!
