I just wanted to say
Just wanted to say I absolutely loved the event on Saturday and I love everything you're doing! It made me so happy leaving knowing that my clothes will likely be worn again and will be saved from landfill!

why trade with us
Save your clothes in style — shop second-hand, trade in your wardrobe, and join the circular movement.
Buying second hand shouldn't be complicated. Charity shops can't keep up and cash for clothes don't value you. Our events are the perfect way to give your old clothes new life. Get credit at Second Hand Saturday, fill your bag for £5 and join the circular revolution against clothing waste in Wales.
This is our OG event, if you've never been with us before, then this is the event you don't want to miss out on.
Our Second Hand Saturday event is the second hand clothing event, where your old clothes can be used as cash - meaning your new clothes as basically free...
How it works:
- Book your ticket + choose your timeslot
- Bring in your unwanted clothing (please make sure they are clean and free of damage).
- Check in with one of our team members
- Your items will then be counted and you will be given a credit voucher (don't lose this!)
- Shop then check out when you're ready! If you find anything you like, go to our payment counter where a team member will calculate your credit against your purchasing items.
If you don't find anything on the day, don't panic! Your credit won't run out and you can come to another Second Hand Saturday event!
Credit is available to use at our Second Hand Saturday events. They are not available to use on any day or event outside of this.
Things to consider:
Please arrive on time, so we are able to sort through your items and allocate your store credit.
