Swap your unwanted, high-quality items for something new-and-fabulous-to-you, keeping clothes in circulation for longer and reducing waste.
We’re partnering with the wonderful Swish Shop for this event. Founded by award-winning stylist Alice Nichol in January 2025, The Swish Shop evolved from her successful pop-up clothes swapping event, Swish It, which she co-founded in 2022.
How it works
Swishing works like a giant clothes swap: bring items you no longer wear and exchange them for something new to you. All you need to do is find those unwanted items in your wardrobe and bring them along to our events to swap!
This Swish It event is specifically for women’s clothing only.
Your ticket includes access to the swap and a glass of prosecco (or a soft drink) on arrival. We’ll give you a wristband when you drop your clothes off on arrival.
If you have a +1 or child who is tagging along for pizza or soft play, they do not need to book a ticket and will not be able to shop. We advise additional guests are limited due to available seating. Soft play access can be paid for on arrival.
What to bring
You can bring anything from one item to several bags! The success of the swish is dependent on the clothes that are brought to swap, we want to ensure everyone is able to find something so we encourage to bring more than one if you can!
Drop off your clothes between 5pm and 5:45pm for Alice and co. to organise everything and then the ‘shop’ opens from 6pm.
While you wait
Our buddies from Pizza with Love will be on site so make sure you treat yourself for dinner, and we’ll have a bar running too. If you want to bring the little ones then you can pay on the door for access to the soft play during the event.
What if I don’t find anything?
The beauty of preloved is the unknown! However this means that unfortunately we cannot guarantee that you will find something you like after you have paid entry and donated your clothes to swap so do not issue refunds if this is the case.
