We have a full itinerary of events 27th-29th September as part of Sustainable Fashion Week.
Come along to refresh your wardrobe at the clothes swap, jazz up your most loved or never-worn items at the skill share and take in local sustainable work at the fashion show. To round off your weekend there’s an evening of talks, films and discussion where you can learn all about the problems in the fashion industry as it is and how we can all take steps towards sustainability.
We will be taking photos at our Sustainable Fashion Week events - please let us know if you would prefer not to be photographed.
