How will the event work?
Bring up to five pre-loved clothing items you no longer want, which you can swap for up to five items from other event participants.
Items must be clean and in good condition. Items to consider bringing include shirts, jumpers, pants, skirts, dresses, accessories, and shoes.
Items that will not be accepted include those not in clean and good condition, as well as underwear, socks, and bathers.
Please do not bring more than five items, as we do not want to overwhelm event staff and volunteers. If you have more unwanted clothing items at home, we encourage you to donate, thrift or upcycle them. There will also be information and activities at the event on how you can do this.
When you arrive at the event, your five items will be taken by event staff at the registration table, then sorted and displayed in the clothing area. The clothing area will be closed for the first 30 minutes of the event to allow staff and volunteers time to register everyone and sort and display the clothing items. During this time, there will be information stalls and activities to engage with, or you can sit and enjoy a free coffee. The clothing area will then open for you to browse the racks and find up to five items to take home.
