Launched as a trial in December 2024, the Secondhand Book Scheme in the Wells Cathedral Shop has been a resounding success!

Due to its popularity, the scheme has now expanded, offering a fantastic selection of secondhand fiction and non-fiction books for sale.

Visitors can browse the bookshelves—located on the right of the tills—and purchase at their leisure: £3 for hardbacks and oversized editions, and £2 for paperbacks.

Donations of books continue to be warmly welcomed – simply bring your books into the shop (no need to call ahead). We are currently accepting books that are in good condition and can be read and sold, as well as musical scores.

If you have any historical documents to donate, please contact the archives directly.

Support a good cause and find your next great read at the Cathedral Shop!
