Art Book Sale

Saturday 21 November 2026, 12-4pm (11am-12pm entry for Friends only)

The Friends of Kettle’s Yard’s popular book sale returns to Kettle’s Yard, for the first time since March 2022. This will be a one-day event in the Clore Learning Studio. There will be a range of art books for sale with all proceeds supporting Kettle’s Yard.

FREE, come along

The sale will open at 11am exclusively for the Friends of Kettle’s Yard and will open to the public at 12pm. Please bring your Friends membership card with you to ensure early access.

Card payment is preferred and if payment is by cash, we cannot give change.

 

Donations

We are accepting donations of art books and works of art to stock the event. We regret we cannot take auction catalogues, postcards or posters.

As Kettle’s Yard cannot store donations prior to the sale, drop off points have been arranged at various locations around Cambridge during the week. These can be found in West Chesterton (CB4) and Petersfield (CB1). Donations in CB4 will be accepted from 16 November onwards, but the CB1 location which may be able to accept items earlier.

In some circumstances collection can be arranged.

If you would like to drop off your donations at Kettle’s Yard directly, then please note this can only happen on Friday 20 November, 12-3pm.

Please email friends@kettlesyard.cam.ac.uk with your preferred location and the team can put you in touch with the relevant volunteer.
