What’s On This Weekend: 21st - 22nd January 2023

1. The Big Clothes Switch‍

Fall in love with your wardrobe again by taking part in The Big Clothes Switch. All you need to do is bring along 5 items that you're no longer in love with and trade them in for tokens. With these tokens, you can 'buy' new pieces from brands such as RIXO, Monki, Arket, Free People, Levi, and a whole lot more. This is the perfect way to update your wardrobe without harming the planet! Continue showing the planet some love by reading our Zero-Waste Stores guide.

There are plenty of plastic-free stores around where you can fill up your own jars or bottles with fresh produce, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and more.
