Nothing to wear?  No money to spend? Ethical Fashion Dilemmas?  Do not fear!
Swishing is here!

What is Swishing I hear you ask?  Swishing is the term used to define an ethical and eco friendly craze that has been sweeping the nation.  We all love clothes shopping but in these difficult times many of us are trying to tighten our purses or belts and what better way to do that than to trade good quality items of clothing, jewellery, shoes and accessories that have been lurking unloved in our wardrobes with other lovely items that need new homes.   Swishing ticks all the boxes for ethical shopping, recycling and thriftyness whilst allowing you the extreme joy of finding something that you love without ever spending a penny!

Participants should bring along clean, unwanted clothing which they are happy to swap. Registration starts at 10:30am, where swishers drop off their clothes and pick up their registration card. The clothes are then graded using a points system to ensure you don’t arrive with a Gucci dress and leave with a Primark jumper. Swishers will also be able to browse the racks at this time. At midday the fun begins and swishing begins in earnest. Those who bring high end goods will get an initial 30 minutes to choose something from the allocated rack, before it opens to everyone. Swishers take the goods they wish to swap to the registration desk and have them stamped out on their card. All the clothes, shoes and accessories left over will be donated to a local charity shop.

Pamper day & swish tickets are £4 including a glass of bucks fizz
