Neighbours and Family Swap

Our latest venue Nottingham Cathedral's community hall is very much a family space so we'd like to give all swappers an opportunity to introduce their children to the joys of swapping offering a special time allocation for young fashion enthusiasts to have a go at reducing thier environmental impact with thier wardrobe. This is in addition to our usual womenswear offer, followed shortly after (all adults are very welcome to attend the family swap without children if that time works better, we'll have the same number of rails for you to shop)

Family Swap 12.30-14.00 (women's wear and children between ages 5-12)

Adult Swap 15.00-16.30 (women's wear, all sizes)

11.00-12.00 Drop items for family swap at Nottingham Cathadral for checking and hanging

12.30-14.00 Family Swap (worth noting people queue and doors open promptly)

14.00-14.30 Drop items for adult swap only (as above)

15.00 - 16.30 Adult Swap

You bring and take away up to 10 items of clothing shoes and accessories (sorry we can't accept nightwear, underwear or jewellery)

Up to 5 items per Child Swapper (additional cost applies, children must be accompanied by a paying adult)

All items must be in great condition only - ask yourself if you'd still wear it!

Whilst you wait for us to get swap ready we recommend you visit our Derby Rd neighbours. A unique spot for independents like Little Plant Guys, Happy Sunday and some great eats Tough Mary's and Little Bricks (booking required, perfect for those of you doing the adults swap) or check out the internationally acclaimed Universal Works homegrown right here in the Midlands.

*Venue is wheelchair accessible

Best guilt free shopping EVER. Spend less, cleanse your wardrobe and find new items to wear and love on repeat. Clothes swapping is the perfect way to move away from consuming new fast fashion. Our swappers say 'it's liberating' to step out of your comfort zone and try something new (to you).

With your help we've circulated over 9000 fashion items and donated 9k to charity and we still can't get enough

All items left at the end are donated to partner charity White Rose for resale across thier 18 stores supporting work to raise awareness, build peace and prevent genocide.

The Big Swap is about making sustainable fashion options available to all sizes and people. We feel passionate about inclusion for EveryBody, giving all swappers the chance to shop responsibly to reduce environmental impact irrespective of size.

Circular fashion fits everybody and it begins here
