Join us at Banana Block this Thursday 16th for our Swish – Clothes swap and DJ set. Hang out, relax and refresh your wardrobe sustainably
About this Event

At Banana Block this Thursday, you're invited to relax and refresh your wardrobe sustainably by exchanging quality pre-loved clothing, shoes, accessories and in this case art and home décor too. We're hosting a Swish – Clothes swap and DJ.

Our Artist in Residence is shaping a new programme exploring creative liberation and collaboration. You're invited to come on down, reinvigorate your style, ignite your creative chi, enjoy a drink, snack, hang out and discover what’s emerging.

We advise you to book your space in advance to ensure quality organisation. Everyone will have a table or rail where they can display their items - we recommend displaying 5-12 items - freshly laundered, undamaged and worthy of giving to a friend. Bringing your own rail to hang your items is encouraged.
Key Rules & Mechanics

  • Quality Control: Items must be in good, wearable condition, free from rips, broken zips, stains, or excessive wear.
  • The Big Reveal: Drop off clothes, then wait for a set time, relax at Banana Block, The bar will be open and so will HiBurger for food, as well as Streetfood Atelier outside Boundary. Feel free to grab a snack or a drink while items are hung up and displayed before the fashion begins.
  • The Token System: One-for-One: For every item you bring, you receive one token to "buy" a new-to-you item.
  • To keep things fair we respect Tiered Value: Designer or high-value items earn more points (e.g., High Street = 1 point, Designer = 3 points).
  • Item Limits: We invite you to donate no more than 12 quality items to keep things from over crowding.
  • Try-on Rules: Nothing can be taken until the swap officially opens, though browsing and trying on in provided spaces is encouraged.
  • Leftovers: Unswapped items are often donated to charity or clothing banks

General Guidelines

  • What to bring: Clothes, accessories, and shoes are standard. We're also inviting art and home decor.
  • Presentation: Bringing items on hangers and in good condition is recommended to ensure a successful, high-quality event but not a disqualifier.
