Walk In Wardrobe (for young people)

This April, we are are bringing an interactive sustainable fashion experience to the young people of Moss Side. Our ‘Walk in Wardrobe’ lifts the lid on the impact of fast fashion and encourages you to join the call for change.

Step inside the Walk in Wardrobe, explore the interactive zones to discover more about the impacts of clothing on people and the planet, get inspired by local groups and campaigns and try out alternatives like repair, upcycling, styling and swapping.

The project has been funded by Hubbub’s In Our Nature programme which is supporting residents and communities in Manchester to take positive action on the climate emergency.

It takes place at Moss Side Millenium Powerhouse in Moss Side on 5th, 6th and 7th April.

The event is aimed at young people aged around 12-25. Younger people and accompanying parents/guardians are welcome too. The event is free to attend, however all visitors must book below to secure your place.

You are welcome to book individual tickets or book multiple tickets for a group visit – up to a maximum of 24. Just change the quantity to the number of tickets you require.

Allow up to 90 minutes for your visit. Please arrive promptly as we are not able to extend the duration of your visit if you are late.

Skills: Learn basic sewing, clothes repair and upcycling skills, have a go at clothes swapping, try your hand at styling outfits, find out about local campaigns and projects you can get involved with and learn more about the social and environmental impacts of fast fashion.

Level: Suitable for beginners, suggested age approx 10+

Bring: If you’d like to try clothes swapping on the day, bring up to 3 items of clothing that are clean and in good condition. If you’d like to have a go at repairing or upcycling, bring an item of clothing to use, or you can work on one of our sample fabric squares instead.
Other than that, all you need to bring is yourself!

BEFORE THE EVENT: SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS >>
Prior to the event, we’re looking to find out more about what you already know and would like to find out more about! If you have a spare 5 minutes, we’d love it if you could fill out our pre-event survey. There are just 7 questions and it should only take a few minutes of your time.
