The Mustard Tree

A treasure trove of second hand & vintage items!
This is a charity shop which funds the work of the Mustard Tree. They support vulnerable people across Greater Manchester in a variety of ways. This shop is a couple of minutes walk down Oldham Road, just out of the end of the Northern Quarter.
They have a huge range of second hand items including furniture, white goods (but not cookers), clothing, bric a brac, electricals and entertainment items like vinyl.
Everything is very reasonably priced as you would expect and they get some amazing vintage items in. They offer delivery for either £5 or £10 depending on the distance which is much cheaper than most other local charities. They also accept donations of items and can collect furniture for free on their vans. Call their office to book in a collection of you want to donate or you drop things like clothing off at their site. Check the website for opening times.
It’s well worth the extra small walk out of the main city centre to have a rummage in this hidden gem!

This is definitely my favourite place for CHEAP but QUALITY furniture.
I needed a coffee table and couldn’t bring myself to pay a fortune for one, and anyway most of the stuff these days is either crappy flat pack stuff or over designed technological pieces of art. So I had a gander around my local charity shops but couldn’t find anything I wanted then I remembered about this place on Oldham Rd. I didn’t know what I would find in here and when I walked through the doors It was fantastic and massive!
They sell everything normal charity shops sell… books, clothes, bric a brac etc but the sparkle in this shop is the huge selection of furniture. I bought a coffee table for a fiver. Yes a fiver. And that wasn’t the cheapest one! But my table is beautiful, quite old and scratched but it fits right in in my house and I love it!
I returned to look around again last week and the wardrobes they have on offer are amazing!
