QT Boot & Swap

Do you have 6 bags of clothes that you've been meaning to donate all year? Do you want new treasure to share and enjoy over the holidays? Does swapping & socialising with gorgeous queer + trans folks fill your heart with joy?!!

Come to the 💖♻️QT Boot and Swap!♻️💖

Join us at Studio 12 on Saturday 13 December from 12-5pm for a cosy afternoon of selling, swapping, and shopping organised by and for queer + trans folks.

There will be a dreamy selection of drinks and snacks available for purchase on the day. Following the swapping/shopping all remaining items will be donated to local and international solidarity drives.

Tickets are pay what you can and no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. Please reach us at qtbootandswap@gmail.com if you have any questions!

What can I bring to sell or swap?
