Are you looking for a fun and sustainable way to level up your wardrobe?
Join in our Clothes Swap where you can exchange up to 10 gently used clothing items, shoes, or accessories that you no longer wear but are still in good condition.
Light refreshments provided.
Overview of the day:
3 - 3.30pm : Check-in
- Meet our volunteers at the check-in counter to exchange up to 10 items for the equivalent number of tokens (these will be used later to go “shopping”!)
- While everyone checks-in and the items are being sorted and hung, you can enjoy some light refreshments, shop through our Rescue Rack of clothes for free, or bring an item for repair to the Upcycle Newcastle Repair Cafe.
- At 4pm you will be allowed to enter the venue where we will first will give an overview of how the swapping event works, and hear from some local sustainability, fashion and textiles experts.
- Then the swapping will begin!
- All items will be sorted in types and hung on display racks
- Change rooms and mirrors will be available on the day
- When you have made your selection, meet our volunteers at the check-out counter to exchange your tokens for your new items of clothing!
Bookings essential. Please note: all bookings are handled by Purple Card Project, for any booking enquiries please contact them via the event listing page.
