Thrift stores in Hull
Hull, England has 92 thrift and charity shops on the map right now. 89 of them are charity shops and 3 are independent second-hand stores, so Hull gives you both flavours of thrifting in one trip. Stock turns over fast in all of them, so the shop that had nothing last month might have your thing this week.
This guide covers every thrift store we could verify in and around Hull (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Mind Charity Shop and YMCA, plus Recycling Unlimited — each with its own personality, which is half the fun. If a shop's missing from Hull's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about thrifting in Hull
13 of the 92 shops list their opening hours, which is unusually helpful for Hull — thrift stores are notorious for surprise closures. Still, call ahead if you're making a special trip to Hull; volunteer-run shops sometimes close early on quiet days.
29 shops have websites listed, worth a look before you go — some post new arrivals or sale days online.
Thrift shops cluster a little: 3 of them sit on Wesley Square, so you can string those into one walk and hit the rest by car.
The Hull thrift circuit
The efficient Hull thrifting route strings these together: Mind Charity Shop, YMCA on Wesley Square, Recycling Unlimited, British Red Cross, Age UK, Dove House Hospice, Dove House Hospice, and Oxfam — 92 shops, one logical loop, no backtracking. 84 more are listed below.
Thrifting tips for Hull
Thrifting in Hull goes better with a little prep:
- Shop the wrong season on purpose at Mind Charity Shop. Coats are cheapest in spring, fans in autumn. Off-season racks are picked over less and priced to move.
- Go often, buy rarely at YMCA. The regulars' secret: short frequent visits beat rare long ones. Ten minutes twice a week outperforms a monthly expedition.
- Check the furniture first, clothes second. Good furniture sells within hours; good clothes within days. Walk the furniture floor before the racks.
- Follow the shop if it's online. Some stores post new arrivals or sale days on social media. One follow costs nothing and catches the announcements.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Hull — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to for a thrifting run. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new shop in Hull can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 92, or a shop we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.
Prices at Hull's thrift stores are set by each shop and change constantly, so we don't list them. As a rough rule, charity shops are the cheapest, independents sit in the middle, and anything labelled vintage costs more everywhere — Hull included.
