Swish!

20 September @ 6:30 pm - 10:00 pm

Restyle Your Wardrobe: A Sustainable Swish Event!

Date: Friday 20th September 2024

Time: Doors open 6.30pm

Location: Rainford Village Hall

Join us for a fun and sustainable fashion event that promises to refresh your wardrobe and benefit the environment!

Why Swish?

On average, we spend around £640 on clothes per year and collectively throw out almost 1 million tonnes of textiles. Shockingly, one-third of these items have barely been worn! Instead of letting them go to waste, bring those barely-used treasures to our Swish event and find something new to love.

How It Works:

  1. Bring Your Quality Preloved Items: Declutter your wardrobe and bring your quality preloved clothes and accessories.
  2. Receive Swish Currency: On arrival, you’ll receive Swish currency equal to the number of items you bring.
  3. Swap for New Treasures: Use your Swish currency to “purchase” new-to-you items from other participants.
  4. Leftover Items Donated to Charity: Any clothes left over at the end of the event will be donated to local charities, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Eco-Friendly Fashion: Restyle your wardrobe in the most sustainable way, reducing waste and promoting a circular fashion economy.
  • Discover New Favourites: Find the perfect outfit, fabulous shoes, or unique accessories without spending a penny.
  • Fun with Friends: Make it a social event! Grab your friends, enjoy the thrill of the hunt, and leave with a refreshed wardrobe.
  • Feel Good Factor: Know that you’re making a positive impact on the environment and your community.

Special Features:

  • Refreshment Corner: Enjoy complimentary refreshments while you swap and mingle.
  • Raffle Prizes: Enter our raffle for a chance to win exciting prizes.

Tickets: £10
