👕Drop-off (12:30–13:00)

You’re welcome to drop off your items between 12:30–13:00 to help us get everything organised before the swap begins.Can’t make early drop-off? No problem. Just bring your items along during the event.

Last drop-off is at 15:45. However, you will be able to shop until 16:00.

🎟 Token System

We’ll be using a token system:

• 2 tokens – Higher value items (original value over £50)

Use your tokens as currency to choose from the preloved items available.

📌Rules

To keep things flowing smoothly:

Please don’t gather around the check-in area.
