It wouldn’t be right here at Thrift Traveller if we didn’t tell you about all things ‘thrifty’ going on in the UK and on this occasion we’re telling you about The Great British Thrift Fair.
There are numerous events run by the company all across the UK but in particular there are still a number of thrift events taking place in York.
The fairs not only bring together an eclectic range of sustainable vintage items in a fun and inspiring atmosphere, but aim to be educational and interesting for you as well.
It will only cost you a mere £2.50 to get in and you get the chance to shop from a collection of eco-fashion traders, learn how to get the most out of items you already own or swap clothes in the swap-shop.
If fashion isn't your thing then you can get tips on how to make the most out of your garden and home – all in the name of reducing waste and saving money.
