Then come along to Sharston's first ever FreeStyle event, a way for people to swap clothes whilst acting sustainably and beating the credit crunch! The idea is that everyone brings at least three items of unwanted clothes, accessories, bags or shoes and hopefully leaves with stuff they like for FREE. If you don't have anything to swap this time, you're still welcome to come and pay £1 to peruse away.
Drop off your items by 1.30pm and start FreeStyling by 2pm.
