SWAP
The Recycling Engagement Team has teamed up with Idea Store to bring you an exciting Clothes and Book Swap event, where you can swap and shop for fantastic new-to-you clothes and books.
This event celebrates reuse and recycling, helping us all take simple steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle. As well as browsing our swap shop, you can take part in clothes mending workshop delivered by Sunny Jar Eco Hub from 10:30am to 1:30pm. Bring along your favourite item of clothing and learn simple yet effective hand-stitching techniques to repair and refresh it, giving it a longer life.
Clothes and Book Swap: How to take part
- Bring up to 15 clean clothing items or books between 10.30 and 11.30am. Get tokens in exchange.
- Take a break after dropping off your items- attend a workshop or return later when swapping begins.
- From 12 to 1pm, pick out up to 15 new-to-you clothing pieces or books. Use your tokens for the exchange.
- All clothes and shoes are accepted, including items for babies, children, and men. No underwear or swimwear, though.
Please make sure all items are clean and in good condition without any marks, stains, or holes. Only bring items you would want to take with you.
We will inspect all items before giving out tokens. Books need to be in good condition and will count as part of the 15 items you can bring.
Any clothes or books left at the end of the swap will go to the next swap or collected by our charity partner TRAID.
