Event description

Join young people from Sunderland Culture’s Celebrate Different Collective to celebrate Pride month in Sunderland, get creative and also make swaps to help the planet. Bring your pre-loved clothing to save it from landfill and take part in our biggest clothes swap activity yet

This year we are also running an art swap so please bring any useable art materials and swap with other young creatives to save money and help the environment. You can also share your little green swaps ideas on our share board to help us all make more climate friendly choices.

Celebrate Different also invite you to take part in their creative, climate and sensory safe activities including on the spot portraits, crochet creature demos, clothing customisation, recycled art frames, proggy flower crafts and tote bag embroidery. This is a sensory safe event, inviting all communities in Sunderland including LGBTIA+ and neurodivergent communities to come together in allyship and shared support.
