The countdown to the most colourful festival of the year is on.

But you’ve been staring at your wardrobe thinking, “I have nothing fun to wear to Pride,” this might be the perfect solution.

A Pride Clothes Swap & Sale is taking place in Cork this week, giving people the chance to update their wardrobe, embrace sustainable fashion and support a good cause – all in one evening.

The colourful event will be held at LINQ on White Street on Thursday, July 23rd, inviting people to bring along pre-loved clothes, browse for new-to-them finds and enjoy a feel-good evening ahead of Pride celebrations.

For just €3 entry, attendees can swap outfits, hunt for unique pieces and give clothes a second life instead of sending them to the landfill. Any extra donations on the night will go towards fundraising efforts.

Whether you’re searching for the perfect Pride look, hoping to declutter your wardrobe or simply love the thrill of finding a hidden gem, there’s something pretty satisfying about leaving with “new” clothes that already have a story to tell.

And let’s be honest – few things beat the feeling of picking up an outfit you’ll actually wear while knowing you’ve done something good for both your wallet and the planet.

The event runs from 5pm to 8pm at LINQ, White Street, and organisers are encouraging people to bring their friends, their best style and plenty of swapping energy.

Fast fashion? We don’t know her.
