The Worth the Weight vintage clothes sale took place in St Mary’s Church on Saturday, February 1, and it proved to be a success. Around nine tonnes of hand-picked pre-owned clothes were brought to the event yesterday as shoppers got the chance to buy a kilo of items for £20.
Worth the Weight was started in Sheffield in 2018 as a way to fight fast fashion. Seven years on, it now travels the country holding popular events where shoppers can find good value for money. Keen eyed shoppers found some bargains on the rails yesterday with big brands such as Adidas in amongst the stock.
If you missed the opportunity to attend this time, the next nearest Worth the Weight sale will be in Bournemouth on Saturday, March 1.
