Description
Welcome to our Big Sister Swap, a sustainable way to update your style!
Bring up to 5 well loved items to our swap. Your items will be checked and graded, and you will get a stamp on your card for every clothing item you bring to swap.
If you bring vintage or designer items, you will get an additional stamp on your card.
Have you got a pair of jeans you want to turn into a skirt? Bought a pair of trousers but the hem is too long? Prehaps you have a bag you really love, but the zip is broken so you can’t use it? Seamstress Zoey will be on hand to transform, fix and alter your unloved clothing in her upcycling booth.*
We will be accepting well loved and looked after clothing/ accessories from all seasons.
Please remember to wash your items before the swap and to check your garments pockets!
If you have any items that you'd like to be reworked/upcyled or fixed, please use our upcycling service.
We will not be accepting any clothes with holes/stains/broken zips etc for the swap.
Lastest entry is at 2pm.

COVID-19 Guidance:
Though we no longer have any specific COVID-19 guidelines in place at our events, it is our expectation that you as a member of our community exercise personal responsibility in that you do not attend if you knowingly have COVID or any other contagious disease, or if you have knowingly had contact with a positive case.
Why do we ask identity questions?
We want to make our events as inclusive as possible and we often get questions from people who for whatever reason say ‘I really want to come but I am nervous, will I be the odd one out?’ Whilst we will always strive to do our best to make everyone feel welcome, it is useful to know a little more about who our audience is for each event so we can be honest in our responses to any queries. It also helps us tailor events for the people attending and identify who we aren’t currently reaching with our work.
This data really helps us, please answer any questions you feel comfortable with. If you do not want to share this information, please leave it blank. More information can be found on our Privacy Policy
