Clothes Swish

Clothes Swish has 3 stages:
1… Drop-off
Bring up to 10 items (adults only, no underwear, nightwear or swimwear)

2…Sit & sip
Start with your complimentary swish cocktail & enjoy the vibes while the team set up shop

3… Spend your tokens
When the shop opens, the floor is yours
***
We accept and expect all shapes & sizes, the main thing is great quality so we do reserve the right to refuse pieces that aren’t right for the event. To help you decide, consider ‘would I proudly gift this to a friend?’.

We’ll give you a token for each item checked in and when the shop opens you get to choose up to the same amount of items to take away. Potentially a whole new capsule wardrobe!

We will make a £2 donation from each ticket bought, which will be paid to Cancer Research UK.

In fact if you’d like more items than you have tokens for we will accept donations for the extras, once everyone has finished shopping.
Any leftover clothes will also be delivered to a CRUK shop where they can make further funds from sales.

Treat yourself to new-to-you clothes and do good for the planet at the same time!

Follow @one.green.step.at.a.time on Instagram for more information in the lead up to the event.

Drop-off at The Crooked Crow Bar any time between 3pm-7pm
Shop will open at 8pm (stay from 7pm to receive the free drink*)

The bar will be open throughout and you are welcome to bring in food.
