How will the toy swap work?

For bring what you can - take what you need events:

Drop off your unwanted toys, books, puzzles, games & kids Christmas outfits and accessories before the event (we’ll share drop-off locations and times nearer the date)

Drop off at least four items and you can take whatever you like on the day (please use common sense :)

On the day, there will be a browsing period before you can take anything to give everyone the chance to arrive.

Have a drink and catch up with your friends

Go home with your little one’s Christmas gifts sorted, for free!

A few rules

Items must be clean, in good condition, CE marked in working order and have all their parts (we’ll turn away anything that doesn’t meet these standards).

If battery powered - make sure they’re charged/include batteries so people can check they work

No soft toys - sorry!

Bring at least 4 items, take what you need, leave enough for everyone ;)

We’re proud to be hosting this event as part of The Big Toy Swap, a National Lottery Funded campaign run by No Crap Parties.

There are 50+ toy swaps happening across the country – aiming to rehome as many toys as possible for Christmas. Saving families money, reducing waste, and encouraging people to be proud of pre-loved presents.

FAQs:
Is it weird to come on my own?
Not at all - please do come along. We are a very friendly bunch!

Is there a limit on what I can take?
We run this event on good faith, helping people save money and reduce waste. As long as you are considerate of other people at the event, and not planning to resell toys for your own profit – you can take whatever you need.

What age group are the toys for?

Toys and books suitable for children 0-7 years old.

Why should I swap toys, rather than buying new?

Saving money, obviously! And your impact on our planet. The energy that goes into the manufacturing, transport, retail, delivery and packaging of all our Christmas shopping is huge. Swapping or buying second-hand is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint - and save stuff from landfill.

What will happen to leftover items?

Any toys that don’t get taken will go to local community groups and/or charity.
