Second hand bookshop

Our second hand books are one of the most important fundraising avenues at Ormesby Hall, with every pound you spend staying at the Hall to help us revive the garden. We are currently raising money in the bookshop to go towards more spring bulbs for the garden.

The bookshop is situated on the first floor of the servant’s wing. In the bookshop you can sit and relax as you make your choice. There is everything from bestselling paperback fiction to classic books, suspenseful crime novels and children's books. There is an honesty box to pay for your chosen read.

Do you fancy a surprise read? We have 'date with a book', which gives you a brief description, but you won't know what the book is until you unwrap it at home.

 The second hand bookshop is managed by a team of national trust volunteers who give their time to sort new donations, restock the shelves and organise the books to make it easier for you to find.

We always need more donations, so if you have any books that you would like to donate to us, they would be gratefully received. Please call 01642 328908 to arrange a time to drop off your donated books or if you are interested in becoming a volunteer.
