Manchester’s reputation for style is getting a massive boost as ClothesCycle, the UK’s premier fashion thrift market, returns to the city next weekend. On Sunday, April 26th, from 11am to 5pm, the stunning Victoria Baths will transform into a vintage paradise, offering a curated shopping experience that caters to every style, gender, and budget.
What to expect at the ClothesCycle thrift market
With over 100 sellers gathered under one historic roof, shoppers can browse everything from high-end luxury and Y2K streetwear to handmade ceramics and bargains for under £5. Visitors gain exclusive access to stock curated specifically for this pop-up that cannot be found online. Additionally, many digital-first sellers will offer rare, in-person discounts.
As an added bonus, there’ll be a free clothes swap, where you can bring up to five items of clothing, shoes or bags and swap them for something new – after 4pm, all remaining items are FREE for anyone to take! Those looking for a unique upgrade can also book walk-in appointments for tooth gems or permanent jewellery.
Will there be food and drink at the ClothesCycle thirift market?
The ClothesCycle thrift market is designed as a comprehensive day out for the whole family, and to keep energy levels high, a variety of food trucks will be on-site offering delicious meals, vegan options, coffee, and ice cream.
Local DJs will provide the soundtrack for the day, ensuring the atmosphere remains vibrant within the breathtaking walls of the Grade II* listed venue.
Why is Victoria Baths so special?
