A popular clothes swap is returning to Melksham on 29th March at Avonside.
The event will be hosted by Swap Society at Doubles and will feature pre-loved clothing being swapped, as well as the opportunity to enjoy coffee and pizza and listen to records.
Organisers Gracie and Meagan said, “Having hosted two successful swaps previously at Doubles, we are back for another slice of the pizza, much anticipated by our swap community. Think coffee, pizza, groovy tunes and new-to-you fashion.
“Two million tonnes of textiles are wasted every year, so clothing swaps are just another way of keeping clothing circular. In 2025, Swap Society saved over 2,000 garments from landfill and is looking to do even better in 2026 with your help.
“Pre-loved fashion is not only more cost-effective but much gentler on our planet; more and more people are choosing to shop or swap second-hand in 2026. Less waste, more you.”
Swap Society was founded by Gracie White from Melksham and Meagan Powell from Calne with the aim of connecting like-minded sustainable-fashion lovers at cool venues around Wiltshire, alongside full-time jobs.
Gracie and Meagan added, “At Swap Society events, not only is clothing exchanged but also phone numbers, hugs, laughter and stories. We are very lucky to have grown such a loyal following in less than a year of running the initiative and hope to welcome more swappers this 29th March at Doubles to groove with us.”
At the event, there will be a token exchange from 10.30am, with swapping taking place from 11am to 1pm.
