Every book you buy, every toy you donate, and every homeware piece you repurpose contributes to a better, more sustainable world. Let's make a difference together this Second Hand September!

🎉 Celebrating 59 Years of Oxfam Knutsford Bookshop! 🎉

Did you know that Oxfam Knutsford Bookshop has been a beloved part of our town for an incredible 59 years? It all began back in 1965, when a group of passionate locals, inspired by Oxfam's mission to fight famine and poverty, officially came together. From those humble beginnings in a Unitarian Schoolroom, they’ve grown into a true Knutsford treasure!

In the early days, Oxfam's home was in a couple of temporary portakabins behind Boots, but the love and support from the community quickly outgrew those spaces. Over the years, the shop moved around town, including a 17-year stint on King Street, before finally settling into its current cozy spot at 31 Princess Street.

So, next time you pop in for a book (or three), take a moment to appreciate just how long Oxfam Knutsford Bookshop has been spreading goodwill and making a difference right here in our town. Here's to the next 59 years of great reads and great causes!

A huge thank you to the Mayor for this honor and to everyone who has been part of our story. Here’s to many more years of making a difference, one book at a time!

🎉 A Special Visit from the Mayor of Knutsford! 🎉

We were absolutely thrilled to welcome the Mayor of Knutsford to our Oxfam Bookshop today! In a heartwarming ceremony, the Mayor presented us with a special certificate celebrating our 50 years of service in the heart of Knutsford. It’s a true testament to the incredible support we’ve received from our wonderful community over the decades and most importantly our wonderful volunteers.

From our humble beginnings in 1974, when we first set up shop in a portakabin, to becoming the bustling hub of books and charity that we are today, it’s been an amazing journey. This recognition means so much to all of us—staff, volunteers, and customers alike—who have worked together to make a positive impact both locally and globally.

A huge thank you to the Mayor for this honour and to everyone who has been part of our story. Here’s to many more years of making a difference one book at a time!
We look forward to our 60th Birthday next year📚🎖️
