Join us at SCRAP for a Clothes Swap as part of Sustainable Fashion Week and refresh your wardrobe sustainably.

From Friday 20th September to Saturday 28th September we're celebrating Sustainable Fashion Week, with a series of events focusing on how we buy, wear, care and dispose of clothing.

Our Clothes Swap is the perfect opportunity to refresh your wardrobe without spending a penny. Simply bring along your clean, good quality adult clothes, shoes, and bags to swap with fellow clothes swappers.

Join us for an engaging discussion on sustainable fashion, tackling clothing waste, and navigating the retail industry, led by Kaitlyn Bullen, the designer and brand manager for Blue Rinse.

Since 1997, Blue Rinse has been at the forefront of reworking and upcycling clothing, partnering with prominent retailers like Urban Outfitters, Topshop, and Topman.

Come and join us in our Creative Reuse Hub on Saturday 21 September from 11am - 3pm to learn how to mend, repair and upcycle your clothes.

All welcome, this is a drop in session so just turn up on the day, no need to book.

PLUS - Anyone who can share their mending, repairing and upcycling skills at this day please contact hello@scrapstuff.co.uk if you are able to join us.

A Sustainable Fashion Week Exhibition at SCRAP, the SFW Leeds Hub, featuring Leeds City College 16-19 Fashion and Textiles.

Launch event Tuesday 24th September 5pm - 8pm, all welcome.

Exhibition continues Wednesday 25th September - Saturday 28th September 10am - 4pm.

This event is in partnership with Scrap Creative Reuse Arts Project and Leeds City College fashion and textiles course. The exhibition will include some final pieces and photographs of their work.

This FREE workshop aims to teach participants how to repurpose damaged or unusable garments and textiles by creating new fabrics and strategically placing patterns with Leeds Beckett University’s Fashion Design team.

The goal is to reduce waste while allowing participants to craft a personalised, high-quality garment.

This Hallow’s Eve, the Bright Young Things invite you to a rip-roaring, jazz infused party to end all parties!

But wait. Is there more to this group of beautiful beings than meets the eye? Rumour has it there have been shrieks in the night and rum deals being played out. A detective has been called. Could this thrilling celebration turn out to be just a little bit toxic?

Taking place across our Autumn/Winter season, Thackray Insights invites you to delve deep into eye­ opening topics and explore the unheard stories of medicine.

Thackray Museum of Medicine is opening its doors for an evening celebrating everything East Leeds!  

Everyone is welcome for this special, free event featuring brilliant artists and organizations from our local community, along with delicious food and non-alcoholic drinks.  

Did you know that only 4% of our collections are on display at any given time? Our stores, library and archive are teeming with objects, books and papers with their own fascinating stories, many of which are rarely if ever visible to the public. 

With our new programme of store tours, we’re offering the chance to see how different collections are stored, get up close with some of our favourite objects, and learn more about the joys and challenges of maintaining such a vast and unique collection.
