look in the local paper and phone around.  Try stables first as they usually can't get rid of it.  Usually it is better to leave the manure for a season to rot, but check to see as you might be lucky enough to get the good stuff that you can use straight away.  I have just bought about a ton for £40 and it is fine to use now.

By the way, if you do leave it a season make sure that it is on some plastic or weeds will grow through it, also keep it wet and cover it up otherwise you will have a weed pyramid!
