The City of Sydney and The Clothing Exchange are joining eco-friendly forces to bring a clothes swap for the whole family to Tramsheds.
Swapping is a clever and thrifty way to update your wardrobe, save money and help reduce textile waste.
If you have garments in excellent condition you once loved but are no longer your favourites, join us at Tramsheds, Forest Lodge for a swap. Find out more below about what you can and can't bring.
This event is only open to residents who live in the City of Sydney council area. This map shows the City of Sydney boundaries.
There is a one hour check-in period. Depending on when you check in, you could have up to one hour of downtime before the swap begins. You might like to grab a coffee or mingle with fellow fashion enthusiasts.

What you can bring
