On the Grid : Fred Aldous

"Haberdashery, modelling, books; gifts… welcome to the crafty emporium that is Fred Aldous. Famous to creatives far and wide, this establishment is an absolute must see for everyone. High, low, left and right, this tardis like store has something for every possible need and is an absolute joy to have a look round whether you need something or not. It’s one of those rare spaces that lift you soul, put a spring in your step and guarantee to put smile on your face. Head over with some mates and mess around in the photo booths, book onto a course you have also wanted to do but never thought existed or hide away downstairs and fantasize about that AirFix set which you still wonder if you are too old for (you’re not!)." - The Neighbourhood

An excellent giant craft shop 👌with 3 large floors of products. You can easily spend a hour looking around 👀 the shop. They literally have everything to do with arts and crafts! Everything! If they don't stock it which I doubt 😅 they can order it. You can easily find parking in Manchester but travelling in on the bus or tram is soooh easy. They also have an online shop for those who live at a distantance or have motility issues. Highly recommended to all artists & crafters 💯

Was recommended this place by a friend and my goodness it did not disappoint!!! A must-see for any crafty individual visiting the city in my opinion. Truly magical selection of crafts downstairs and was thoroughly impressed by their range of yarn! A bit biased but they carried a lot of the yarn types I love. Perfect variety of different weights and my first time seeing things like baker's twine. My Mancunian friend is now my designated yarn mule for whenever they come down to visit me in London :)

I bought a journal but later decided I wanted to swap it for a different one. I couldn’t find the receipt, but I went back to the shop anyway to explain and see what could be done. To my surprise, the staff member was really understanding and offered to try and find the purchase on their system. It was a bit tricky (especially since I gave them the wrong card details at first), but with help from their colleagues they managed to track it down and sort it for me. They really didn’t have to go to all that effort, so I bought them a gift to say thanks. Their customer service was brilliant, and I’m genuinely grateful for the help 🙌🏼

Incredible art and hobby shop. Its so nice to be able to check art supplies in person, particularly paper which there is loads of here. The shop is huge and well organised. My favourite art shop now!

Wow what a fabulous store! Very tidy and so much to choose from! The staff were really friendly and helpful! You could spend hours looking in this store it's jam packed with so many helpful craft things to choose from, it's very centrally located in Manchester, not the best area to park but there are lots of places to park :) and so many great places to eat locally :) no disabled access to the downstairs of the store, but it it's a very old building so I guess that's difficult to implement, genuinely a really good find I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for crafts and funk gifts

Need art supplies? They've got it! Pretty much anything you can think of. Frames even! Books and gifts even. Great just to wander around in.

Lovely place with tons of art supplies to look at, priced decently and a fun place to look around for artists and anyone who want to try out a new craft
