Clothes Swap

Our second Clothes Swap will be held on Saturday 24th January 2026 2pm – 4pm at Stokesley Secondary School.

Following our first clothes swap which was held on Saturday 27th September 2025 1pm – 4pm in St Joseph’s Church Hall, Stokesley.

Over 60 people swapped clothes during our first event, at which over 300 items were given and over 250 items were taken, lots of people getting new to them clothes without any consumption of raw materials or creation of textile waste.

Please get in touch if you would like to help organise future events – clothesswap@casav.uk.

A clothes swap event is a gathering where people bring clothing they no longer wear and exchange them for other pre-loved garments. It’s a sustainable way to refresh your wardrobe without spending money while reducing textile waste.

How It Works:

• Simply come along on the day and bring up to 5 items of great quality clothing to swap and get to take away the same amount of “new to you“ items.
• We only accept clothing that is in great condition, with no stains, rips or excessive wear.
• We accept men’s, women’s and children’s clothing – think tops, dresses, shirts, trousers, jumpers, etc.
• We do not accept underwear, swimwear, sleepwear, baby clothes – under age 2, uniforms or fancy dress.
• We do not accept accessories, handbags or shoes.
• Entry fee is £2pp (children are free of charge)
• We only accept cash.
• Our check in team will count your items up and you will be given a card for this number of items.
• You can then browse our rails and shop in our swap sale free for “new to you“ clothes.
• We have a free café for you to use when you have finished shopping.
• Children are welcome at our event but must always be supervised.

Benefits:

• Swapping clothes reduces textile waste and promotes a circular economy.
• Swapping clothes is fun. It encourages social interaction and shared values of sustainability.
• Swapping clothes is a very cheap way to update your wardrobe.
