This weekend, Manchester’s much-loved Hope Mill theatre is hosting a unique yard sale in which visitors can own a piece of the venue’s history.

Taking place on Sun 17 Aug, between 11am-3pm, the Hope Mill team will be auctioning off one-of-a-kind pieces from past shows that have graced the theatre’s stage.

There’ll be an eclectic mix of items up for grabs, including costumes, props, set pieces and more from a decade’s worth of productions. All money raised through the sale will be put towards a brand-new community hub.

The theatre says that most products will be available to buy, but some of the extra special pieces will be sold via a silent auction.

For a sneak peak at the sort of things you might expect to find at the sale, keep an eye on the Hope Mill Theatre Instagram.

Sun 17 Aug, Hope Mill Theatre,
113 Pollard St, Manchester M4 7JA
