"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

Amazing shop over three floors! A fantastic selection of art books – from marbling and drawing to oil painting and so much more. You’ll find materials for almost every kind of handcraft or creative project. Also a perfect place for gifts, gift wrapping, and creative supplies. A must-visit for creatives.

a very cute arts store with a very fun photo booth inside! i heard about this ‘vintage’ photo booth from a friend and i just had to try. it was £5 for a session and had amazing results. had to wait a bit (i’m guessing the machine’s a bit old) but honestly loved the wait, because i went around the store and enjoyed some cute little eye candy.

Quite disappointed feel lied too, closing time is at 5:30 came at 5:15 and the photo booth is shut, which mind you it’s the stores main attraction …came a while away just to get a picture with my mate before i left the city and to my suprise it says “out of order” which is already misleading in itself. asked staff and said it shuts when its stores closing time .. i get it but i don’t maybe put that on the instagram if you can purchase a item 20 minutes before closing time pretty sure you can take a picture which takes 3 minutes to develop aswell.

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 💯

All your stationary needs under one roof, staff are polite and have good knowledge of the collections. I especially enjoy looking at the drawing books on offer, as they have just about everything you can imagine and more. If you are in Manchester and enjoy drawing, journals or creating miniature models, this is the place to go.
