WHAT DO I DO ON THE DAY?
At 9am: Drop your goods off to us at Westow House in Crystal Palace, South London. We’ll then inspect each item, steam it and hang it up ready for you to browse, and “credit” you for each item of yours you bring. We expect a queue, so if you don't want to wait we advise arriving promptly at 9am. For every item you bring, you can take another away with you. It's a 1-1 direct swap across all categories.
At 11am: We'll then get the room set-up and organised, hanging everything on rails and putting it into sections. Use this time to meet friends, enjoy brunch or Lunch in Crystal Palace where the event is taking place. We'd recommend heading downstairs at Westow House for brunch. Their new menu is great, and they're dog-friendly.
At 12pm: You return upstairs to Westow House from 12pm when you can start swapping! It's first-come-first-serve. These events can be busy. Use your "credits" to swap for new clothes and accessories. For every item you bring, you can take another away with you. It's a 1-1 direct swap across all categories. Any remaining credits will remain on our system to be used at future events. You'll still need to purchase a ticket for future events.
At 1.30pm: The Swap Shop will close.
