The award winning ReFashion event will next be held on Thursday 10 March 2016 from 12pm-6pm! Dowload an application form to apply to be a stallholder.
Held for the first time in 2012, ReFashion brings together businesses, charities, students, volunteers and community groups to highlight the problem of disposable fashion and give unloved clothes a brighter future!
People bringing clothes to the event have the option of 'swishing' - swapping them for free, passing them to a charity to sell, finding out how to repair or decorate them or even transforming a favourite garment into something totally different. There is the chance to buy upcycled textile crafts or take part in a free upcycling or mending demonstrations. All fabric at the end of the event is recycled.
Catwalk shows featuring students and charity shops take place throughout the event.
