15:30-17:00 / Clothes Swap

👖Swap: Swap up to 5 items from the rails. When you're ready to go, take your items to the welcome desk and we’ll count them out, which lets us capture the carbon savings for each type of garment!

Arrival After The Swap Starts

Donation drop-off beforehand helps the events run more efficiently. If you arrive after the clothes swap has started, you’re still welcome! We’ll ask you to sign in and drop off your items, with your donations kept for future events (they won’t be added to the rails this time).

Bag Drop

Before entering the swap area, please leave any large bags, suitcases or buggies in the bag drop area.
