Grab a bargain or two – or more like a kilo's worth – at a returning sustainable shopping event in Welwyn Garden City.

For the next few months, Isabel Hospice will be holding their highly popular kilo clothing and bric-a-brac sales, all under one roof, in Welwyn Garden City.

The next event date is Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12.

Selling fashion fit for a second chance, these events offer a unique opportunity for eco-conscious shoppers to indulge in guilt-free retail therapy while supporting a worthy cause.

The premise is simple yet ingenious. Clothing – including men’s, women’s, children’s and a ‘curve’ collection – is sold at £7 per kilo.

Bric-a-brac items are priced at just £1 each or 15 items for £12. 

Whether you’re in search of unique vintage finds, quirky knick-knacks, or simply want to do your part for the planet, these events offer something for everyone. 

"What sets these sales apart is not just the unbeatable value but also the environmental impact they make," said an Isabel Hospice spokesperson.

"By rescuing generously donated items, Isabel Hospice continues to divert perfectly usable goods from ending up in landfill.

"But the benefits don’t stop there. By raising vital funds through these events, Isabel Hospice can continue its invaluable work providing end-of-life care and support to those in the local community, ensuring that patients and their families receive the compassionate care they deserve during challenging times."

Previous sales have seen customers queuing outside the door before opening, with several journeying from outside Hertfordshire especially – all keen to get priority access.
