Bring along clothes and swap them for a sustainable way to boost your wardrobe!
About this Event

Looking for a way to revamp your wardrobe without spending too much or relying on fast fashion? Clothes swaps are a fantastic way to refresh your style and find some new favourites, while also clearing out your own closet.

Come along to The Proud Place on Saturday 28th September. Bring up to 10 items to swap for tokens, and then have a browse, have a brew and meet some new people. You will receive one token for each item. All swappable items will be 1 token, unless they are high value items - which will be 2 tokens. If you have tokens left over once you have picked your items to swap, you can donate these to another event attendee by asking a member of staff.

If you'd like to bring things ahead of time, please email [email protected] to arrange a time.

If you have nothing to swap, or just want to have a browse, tokens will be purchasable on the day for £3 per token. Any items left at the end of the day will be donated or used to create our own permanent clothes swap rail!

How to get involved:

Reserve your spot via this Eventbrite.

Have a look through your clothes for items to swap - make sure they are clean, not damaged and in a functioning condition.

Bring them along on the day (or if you'd like to drop your items off beforehand contact us at [email protected]).
