Start: 2025-11-29T10:00:00+00:00

Location: The Rufus Centre, MK45 1AH Flitwick, United Kingdom

If you fancy a change from your usual baubles but don’t want to just throw them away or if you need a few more decorations for the festive season then our Xmas Xchange is for you!
The Xmas Xchange will work like our Plant and Seed Swaps - we will be accepting donations of good quality, safety compliant Christmas decorations, smaller artificial trees, and indoor and outdoor lights - of a standard that you would be happy with in your own home.
Anyone coming to the event can take what they would like for their home this Christmas - so it might be a swap or just providing a new home for preloved decorations. Our aim is to have nothing left at the end.
When and Where?
The Xmas Xchange will be at The Rufus Centre in the Stocksfield Room (next to the Community Fridge) between 10-12 on the morning of Saturday 29th November
Like to swap or donate?
We will be accepting donations at the Share Library session from 10-12 at the back of The Rufus Centre on Saturday 22nd November and from 9.30-11am in the Stocksfield Room on the 29th November. We can’t accept items that aren’t of a standard to be reused and will check donations before accepting.
Like to choose some pre-loved decorations?
We will be open for you to select from the donated items between 10am and 12 noon on Saturday 29th November in the Stocksfield Room.
Christmas Lights
Any lights or electrical items that are donated will be PAT checked and tested to make sure they are safe and working. If you would like to have any lights checked for your own use you can bring them along to the Xmas Xchange. If the items are unsafe, you must dispose of them yourself.
Christmas Trees
We will accept artificial Christmas trees, in excellent condition, up to 5ft/150cm. We can accept trees with integral lights but will only put these into the Xchange following testing and PAT check.
This is our first Xmas Xchange so please bear with us if it doesn't all run completely smoothly ♻🎄
