Sales of the Unexpected: The Big Minster Sale
Published: on 25th June 2009 by the Grace of God in Minster News
The Big Minster Sale will take place in the grounds of York Minster school - just across Deangate from the Minster itself - from Wednesday 29th July to Saturday 1st August 2009.
Organised by York Minster volunteers, proceeds from the Sale will go to the York Minster Fund (Registered Charity Number 252157) which supports the ongoing conservation of York Minster.
Turn out that spare bedroom or attic, then hunt for bargains and the unexpected right in the heart of York, while making a contribution to the huge restoration work under way at the east end of northern Europe’s largest Gothic cathedral. If you have any household items, clothing or books that you no longer use, the team at The Big Minster Sale are waiting to hear from you – anything is welcome except electrical ‘white’ goods and large items of furniture.

• by bringing saleable items to St William's College, opposite the East End of the Minster, on Mondays 29 June, 6, 13 and 20 July between 10.00am and 4.00pm
