Do you have a passion for preloved fashion? Cessnock City Council is excited to announce it’s first ever Raid My Wardrobe event on Sunday 30 April from 10:30am – 2:30pm at the Cessnock Leagues Club.
The Raid My Wardrobe event is part of Council’s Less is More campaign, which seeks to change our relationship with products and encourage us all to reuse, repair, rent, borrow and share rather than always buying new.
Attendees can enjoy a guilt-free shopping spree as they peruse hundreds of preloved fashion items from other people’s wardrobes.
A wide range of items across all sizes and seasons will be available, including cocktail dresses, suits, casual wear, active wear, maternity wear, vintage wear, and a wide range of accessories.
Change rooms and mirrors will be available for those who wish to try before they buy.
The event will also include UpCycle demonstrations, a Repair Café, and a Rescue Rack.
Cessnock City Council Mayor Jay Suvaal said he was excited to see an event like this in the Cessnock Local Government Area.
“This is the first time such an event is to be held at Cessnock.” Mayor Suvaal said.
“It’s a very exciting time for the community, and a wonderful opportunity to give a second life to these preloved items.”
Entry to this event is $5, with free entry for children under 12. All attendees under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
This project is a NSW Environment Protection Authority Waste Less, Recycle More initiative funded by the Waste Levy.
