How it works
- Bring up to 15 items in good, clean condition between 10.30 – 11.30am and exchange for tokens
- There will be a break between dropping off your items and the start of the swap. Join a workshop, browse in the library, or go away and return
- Between 12 noon – 1.30pm browse and choose items and exchange your tokens for up to 15 new-to-you things!
All items will be quality checked before tokens are issued. You can donate any unused tokens. These will be given to those who do not have tokens and want to join in. Any items left at the end, will be donated to charity or brought to the next swap.
