Swap + Repair Cafe November 24th

Welcome to Bergen’s biggest clothing swap event! Here you'll find good quality second hand clothes in all sizes and types, shoes and accessories. The swap café is opened with coffee and homemade cakes. Don't forget to drop by the repair café where we'll help you repair (or adjust) any clothes you brought with you or found at the swap.

When: September 29th, 12.00-17.00
Where: Bergen Kjøtt (Skutevikstorget 1)
Tickets: Kr 50-100
Note: You buy a ticket for an entry time-slot. You can arrive within 30 minutes from the time on your ticket. You can stay as long as you like from your arrival. With a pre-bought ticket, you can skip the ticket-line at the event.

How does the event work?
Dive into your closet and collect a max. of 7 clothing items, shoes, bags/purses or jewelry. At the swap, you will receive points for each item, depending on its type and quality. Next, take your time to look through our well-stocked racks for some nice items and pay for them with the points you received. The clothes you brought will be made available for newly arriving swappers and you’ll leave with your newly swapped outfit! As we have our own stock, there are clothes available from the very beginning. Note: You can bring any points received at former events.

Repair cafe
Repair your own clothes at the repair cafe. Our experienced volunteers will help you make small repairs, like attaching a button, closing a hole, or replacing a zipper. The workshop is included in the entrance fee. The amount of repairs you can do depends on how busy it will be.
