Come along to Sustainable Fashion Friday - a day of enjoyment and learning in the city centre at the Ellen Melville Centre in Freyberg Place, High Street.
Find your perfect garment or fashion accessory upstairs at the Sustainable Makers Market or take part in a printing or clothing repair workshop downstairs all the while enjoying some mellow live music and DJs across the day.
