Molly-May said: “Clothes swapping is the perfect way to revamp your wardrobe without spending a penny and reducing some of the £140 million worth of clothing going into landfill every year.

“The need to consider an ethical approach to clothes shopping is more important than ever, with horrendous working conditions and non-existent rights in the workplace a real problem worldwide.

“This is a brilliant way to keep fashion sustainable, and also swap some of your clothes for a brand-new wardrobe.”

There will be a quality check team on site to ensure all items are fit for swapping before the event starts.
