Kids' Swap Shop

Sun, 16th Nov 2025 09:30 - 11:30

We are back again with a Winter Swap Shop, as part of our "Share & Repair" weekend!

Please join us on Sunday November 16th, for a relaxed morning of browsing beautiful children's clothes, toys, games and book, and meeting other likeminded families at The Stanton Suite in Charlton Kings (next to the library).

Environmental charity Hubbub, estimates that a typical British family spends £11,000 every year on childrenswear, and research estimates that there are almost 200 millions pieces of outgrown baby clothes hidden in attics and cupboards across the UK.

So let those unwanted clothes find a fresh home, help local families save money, live more sustainably, and protect the environment - all while building community.

We will open for swapping from 9:30 - 11:30am.

We hope to see you there!

(You do not need to RSVP to attend, but it helps to give us an idea how many people to expect.)
