The Clothes Swap Shop

Saturday 28th February | 3–5pm
Max 25 people

A relaxed, no-money clothes swap — bring up to 10 clean, good-quality pieces you’re happy to part with and take what you genuinely love.

Arrival: Please come between 2:45–3:00pm so you have time to sort your items before swapping begins at 3:15pm.

Guidelines:
• Clothing only (no underwear or swimwear)
• Bring pieces you’d happily give to a friend — no stains, holes or broken zips
• We won’t be organising clothes by size — items are arranged by type (dresses, jackets, knitwear, etc.) to keep things simple and relaxed
• Sort your items into the correct section on arrival
• Swap mindfully — this is a community event
• You don’t need to take the same number you bring

Refreshments: Coffee (or tea) & homemade bake – £5

Donation: Any remaining clothes will be donated to Naomi House & Jacksplace, so please only bring items you’re happy to part with.

Spaces are limited to 25 people, so please let me know if you’d like to come along — or if you’d like to help on the day.

Wild Woodland Wreath Making at Twinings

Wild Woodland Wreath Making Workshop

This December, I’m going to be hosting my ‘Wild Woodland Wreath Making Workshops!’ again and I’d love you to join in.

After your welcome coffee or tea (served from Betty the Caravan Cafe) we’ll venture into the undergrowth to forage for fronds, foliage and flowers to build and decorate our wreaths. There won’t be any oasis, just beautiful woodland treasures transformed into something seasonally spectacular.

You don’t need any crafting skills. It’s super easy to get a gorgeous result (and I have lots of tips and tricks which I have learnt through practice and am keen to share!) so there’s no need to worry that you won’t be able to create a masterpiece that you’ll be proud to display all Christmas long!

Most of all it should be a lovely, festive event to really get you in the mood for Christmas. A change to get some fresh air, enjoy the great outdoors (and then cosy up inside if freezing and wet) and learn a new skill that you’ll be able to use again every year.


The cost of the workshop is £48 per person

Book your place below. Spaces are limited and book up FAST… so don’t hang about.
