At a cost of £5, guests can get involved by bringing as many clean clothes that are in good condition to the party ready to start swapping with each other. Each guest will receive a ticket in exchange for their clothes, allowing them to take away as many items as they’ve brought in.

Other events will include the Charity Christmas Fayre from 1-6pm, an ethical catwalk show at 7:30pm and a prize raffle and competition that will run throughout the day. Whatever is made will be donated straight to local charities in Consett, County Durham.
