Art Book Sale

The Friends are planning another book sale in November this year, the first since March 2022. As last time, this will be a one-day event in the Clore Learning Studio at Kettle’s Yard.

FREE, come along

Anyone who has books on the visual arts, including photography, architecture and graphic design (but not dealers’ or gallery catalogues unless of substantial quality) that they can donate, please start setting them aside now. Please do not bring books to Kettle’s Yard, there is no storage available. Details of the organisers will be circulated nearer the date, when drop off locations will be advised and pick-ups can be arranged.

The Clore Learning Studio is accessible. It can be reached by stairs or by lift, to the basement -1 floor. There is an accessible toilet with baby changing facilities in the basement beside the Learning Studio. There are more toilets and facilities on the ground and first floors.
