✨ QUEERSWAP'S THIRD ANNUAL HOLIGAY FEST ✨
We're back for our THIRD annual Holigay Fest, and this year we're taking over The Joiners Heart, a brilliant new queer venue in Hackney, for a festive celebration of queer community, creativity and giving.
Come join us for a day of second-hand treasures, festive crafting and a whole lot of holigay cheer!
🎄 CLOTHES SWAP 🎄
Bring along your pre-loved clothes and find yourself some new-to-you treasures. Give your wardrobe a refresh, find a festive party outfit and give unwanted clothes a new lease of life.
We will not accept any dirty items, or items that are stained, torn (unless “distressed” intentionally), missing buttons, have broken zips, etc. We also will not accept underwear(pants), socks, tights/hosiery, or earrings/piercings unless new in packaging. Shoes and coats must be in great condition or better, and clean!
We do allow hats, scarves, belts, bracelets, necklaces, binders, corsets, bodysuits, and bags.
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.
🎄 FREE DROP-IN WORKSHOPS🎄
Get crafty and make something special to take home.
We'll be running three festive activities throughout the day.
- Ornament Painting
- Lino Stamp Christmas Cards
- Air Dry Clay Ornament Making
