Chichester Cathedral Clothing Swap Shop and Fairtrade Café

Saturday 5th October. 9.00am – 12.00pm

Vicars’ Hall, Chichester Cathedral, PO19 1PX

The Vicars’ Hall will be transformed into a second-hand clothing swap shop. Dive into your wardrobe and pick out a few items to bring along and discover some fabulous new things to take home! Bring 3 items of good quality clothing or accessories to swap on the day but please ensure that they are clean and in good condition.

Pre-loved jackets, jumpers, trousers, dresses, tops, hats and scarves can be brought to swap for new favourites on an item-for-item basis. Everyone is welcome. A Fairtrade café will be offering tea, coffee and cake. Bring along a travel mug and help us reduce, reuse and recycle.

This is a partnership event with Transition Chichester and Chichester Cathedral.

Born out of a passion for recycling and reusing and the love of finding a bargain, this simple idea is one of Transition Chichester’s big successes. No money changes hands.

The fashion industry is responsible for 8-10% of our carbon emissions each year alongside its ethical challenges around workers’ human rights on farms or in factories. By recycling clothing and ‘breaking up’ with fast fashion, we can reduce our impact on the planet and save money too!

Born out of a passion for recycling and reusing and the love of finding a bargain, this simple idea is one of Transition Chichester’s big successes. No money changes hands. It is all about finding new homes for unwanted clutter and keeping stuff out of landfill. People bring whatever they want to bring to our events, held in various venues around the city, and take away as much as they like – all for free!

A Fairtrade cafe, with home-made cakes and bread, and soup from surplus veg, adds to the enjoyment.
