Manningtree Arts is more than just a shop; it’s a community hub in Essex. We offer a diverse and curated array of books, locally roasted speciality coffee, and a vibrant space for artistic events and gatherings.

It is our belief that stories are the gateway to connection. Whether it's a poetry performance, a book, or a chat over a cup of coffee... MA is committed to being a sanctuary for creativity and togetherness. 

​

Alongside our buzzing coffee and bookshop, open seven days a week, we also curate weekly events with authors, artists and activists - everything from scrabble competitions to Booker Prize winners. There is something for absolutely everyone, and we would love for you to be involved.
