About this event

Join us for a fantastic opportunity to discover stylish new outfits, and help combat fashion waste!

Get ready to refresh your wardrobe in the most exciting and eco-friendly way. Join us for Clothes Swap where fashion enthusiasts of all styles come together to exchange their pre-loved clothing and accessories .

Whether you’re into vintage, chic, casual, or anything in between, all styles are welcome! This is your chance to find unique pieces, save money, and make new friends in the community. Not only will you get new-to-you clothing without spending a dime, but you’ll also help reduce textile waste and support a sustainable lifestyle.

On the Day
Participants bring 5 items they wish to swap, which should be clean and in good condition. There will be a drop-off time before the event starts.

Check-In
Our team will assist you with the check-in process, ensuring your items are suitable for swapping. You’ll receive 5 tokens for each approved item, which you can then use to exchange for one item of clothing per token. Clothes check-in closes at 11:15 AM.

Sorting
Items will be sorted into categories (like tops, pants, accessories) to make browsing easier. People can only start taking items once the Swap is officially open at 11:30 AM.

Leftovers
Any unclaimed items will be donated to charity or another sustainable outlet.
