Clothes swap Chippenham: fundraising for Pride in Chippenham

Come along to our Swap event to freshen up your new year’s wardrobe! Hosted by Clothes Swap Chippenham – fundraising for Pride in Chippenham.

How does a Clothes Swap work?

• dive into your wardrobe and dig out any clothes in good, clean condition, and bring them to the swap.
• when you arrive, hand your items over to our staff who will sort them
• grab a seat downstairs, and a drink/snack from the venue, – this venue has been kindly given to us for free for this event, so be sure to help us give back by grabbing a drink, etc
• pay your £5 entry fee; this goes directly to our designated local charity for this event
• browse and swap from our chosen stalls, whilst our volunteers sort the clothing items
• when the staff are ready, we will introduce the event and then you are free to browse through the clothes
• take home as many items as you feel is fair

FAQs

What will be there?

• We will have clothes as well as shoes and accessories. For hygiene reasons we don’t accept underwear, socks or swimming costumes.

What if I don’t find something I like?

• We often have sizes 8-38 attend and end up with such a great deal of items each time, so there will likely be something for you.

Why isn’t it swap-for-swap/item for item?

• We have so many items come through the doors, if we did swap for swap, we’d have too many items left over at the end! We ask people take for themselves only but to feel free to take as much as they feel is fair – you can always bring the item back to the next Clothes Swap event if it doesn’t work out!

Don’t people take loads of stuff? Are people grabby or rude?

• Our seasoned swappers are kind, friendly and polite, and we ask all those attending to be the same. Be considerate of others and you’ll go home with armfuls of items, and a smile on your face.

Can I bring my children?

• We ask that you don’t bring under 14s

Where do the leftover items go?

• All items leftover are donated to charity/local causes

Please remember – our venue kindly gave us this space for FREE! Any more questions? Please ask!
