THE FINAL SWAP OF THE YEAR!
Join us for a fabulous 🌈 Queer Clothing Swap and Social! Bring up to 10 items of gently-used clothing that no longer spark joy in your wardrobe and exchange them for new-to-you items that suit your current style. This event is for everyone in the queer community to find clothing that fits and expresses their individuality and affirm their identity without breaking the bank.
Our event will be filled with fun and laughter, so bring your friends along and meet other queer folks. There will be spaces to sit down, settle in, and socialise over some board/card games as well as delicious food and bevviesfor purchase! There will be alcoholic and non-alcoholic options available!
Don't miss out on the opportunity to refresh your wardrobe and enjoy a budget and eco-friendly day out with your friends. It's even cheaper than charity shopping!
How the Swap Works:
When you arrive you will exchange your swappable items for tokens. You can then browse items brought by others, and “check out” at the end by “cashing in” your tokens for those items.
1 item = 1 token to exchange 🔄
Once the items are traded for tokens they go straight onto the floor, so make sure you are 100% sure before you pass them over.
Then you can look at all the items brought by other people, take breaks and enjoy some food or games, go back to see if anything else you like has been added, and “check-out” with your chosen items whenever you are finished. We encourage people to arrive earlier so they can get the most out of the event and see more items that come into the swap before they are snagged by someone else.
Tickets are PWYC and are considered donations that go towards helping us improve and grow our charity events. If you are able to contribute more, we would really appreciate it! Recommended donation is £2-5 per person.
Access: This venue is step-free and has a toilet on the same floor as the swap. There are additional toilets downstairs. We encourage people to use the lower level toilets if they are able and to leave the upstairs toilet for those who may not be able to walk downstairs. If we are offering a workshop at this event, the workshop will take place in the basement of the venue which would require walking down a single flight of stairs. There is seating available throughout the venue. For any additional accessibility questions, please contact us via OutSavvy, Instagram, or email queerswap@gmail.com.

❗❗ Note: We will not accept items that are dirty, stained, torn (with the exception of “distressed” items), missing buttons, have broken zips, etc. We also will not accept underwear, socks, tights/hosiery, or any children's items. We do allow hats, scarves, belts, and bags. Shoes must be in great condition and clean!
If you have more than 10 items you may bring the excess as a donation. You will still be capped at 10 swapping tickets in order to help ensure everyone can find items. If you are unable to attend the event and wish to make a donation, please DM us or email us (see below).
