What is on
Everything runs at once. Nothing is ticketed separately.
The cutting table
Upcycling workshops, run hands on. Bring a piece that no longer fits or no longer works and leave with it altered.
The runway
Designers showing upcycled collections built entirely from reclaimed material. The clothes on the walk are for sale on the floor.
Sound
Live sets and DJs through the afternoon and into the evening, programmed with local acts.
The yard
Food, drinks and somewhere to sit while you decide whether you are going back for the jacket. You are.
The timed running order for the runway, the workshops and the sound stage goes up once the date is confirmed.
What a ticket covers
Pricing is still being finalised. One ticket covers the whole day, with nothing inside it charged separately.
