Tired of your t-shirts? Wish you had some different dresses? Save money by bringing along your unwanted (but wearable) clothes to our Swish and Style event and go home with a new-to-you outfit, all for free!
It’s simple. Have a clear out and bring good quality clothes to one of our seven events. For each item you bring, you get a token that you can exchange for another garment (maximum 10 items). Everything is free, everything is clean and everything will be re-worn and re-loved.
How it works
For the first hour (12.30 – 1.30), everyone is invited to drop off their clothes, shoes and accessories that they want to donate. Whilst we busily sort them into style and hang them on hangers, you’ll be free to check out the workshops – learning how to do simple fixes to your clothes and how to upcycle them into something completely different – a jumper becomes a hot water bottle cover, a treasured Babygro becomes a patchwork memory blanket and an old t-shirt becomes a bag. If you have any clothes that need a little TLC, bring them along and our seamstress can fix them for you for free while you wait.
The from 2pm until 3pm, you get to look through all the clothes and choose what you want. If you love it, take it. It’s first come, first served – but no elbows please!
What can you bring?
Please bring along:
- Clean and wearable clothes, shoes and accessories
- No damage, holes and stains
- You can bring women’s, men’s, children’s and baby clothes
- No underwear please, unless in sealed, unworn condition
Anything that we deem unacceptable will be given back to you and you will not be given a token. We have the right to turn away any item.
Please note only adults will be allowed at events. Parents with children under the age of 12 can bring them but they must remain under the parents’ supervision at all times.
Any clothes that are left over at the end of the event will be donated to the Salvation Army.
‘si ça vous dérange pas?’ Is a show about identity. A collective of acrobats, aerialists and jugglers from eight different countries come together for 60 minutes to explore what brings us together and what pushes us apart. The ensemble have spent the past two years working and training together at Le Lido, Toulouse, a circus school which places the artist at the centre of what concerns them. Driving for artistic autonomy and authenticity, Le Lido searches for what makes each artist unique.
