SHOPPERS can spruce up their wardrobe in a sustainable way at a clothes swap.
The Brontë Parsonage Museum is hosting its very first Big Bronte Clothes Swap on Sunday.
The swap, which is free, will help shoppers to trade and donate clothes.
Organised in celebration of International Women’s Day and supported by Bradford Council and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the event will take place in the Old School Room, Church Street, where Charlotte and Emily Brontë taught needlework.
There will be tables, rails and hangers ready for any unwanted clothes and accessories.
Programme Officer from the Brontë Parsonage Museum Sassy Holmes will be leading a talk about a new exhibition ‘Defying Expectations; Inside Charlotte Bronte’s Wardrobe’, and the importance of sustainable fashion. There will also be a Fix Up corner offering advice and information on creative ways to revitalise items of clothing.
*The Big Brontë Clothes Swap, Old School Room, Church St, Haworth, Keighley BD22 8DR,
Sunday 13 March, 12-4pm. Free admission.
