Since 2012, Festival of Thrift has been a playground of possibilities for all ages, celebrating the power of thrift, the joy of creativity, focussing on a hopeful future we can build together for generations to come.
We are super-excited to showcase a wealth of European and UK interactive installations and performances that will connect you with nature, celebrate sustainability and engage your spirit of playfulness. We will present stylish slow-fashion catwalks, engaging speakers and a wide-ranging programme of hands-on workshops.
We want to work alongside people who share our values and our sense of fun! Why not join our festival this year as one of our Volunteers.
