Festivals
Fun, family, music, good times and sunshine (if you’re lucky!)… We LOVE festivals, and The Swish has run sustainable workshops at the best of them!
We tailor our offering to the crowd, and help them express their unique festival style! We get kids sewing for the first time; teach teenagers cool upcycling hacks, and get families creating and laughing together.
Dads make surprisingly creative designers (especially after a pint or two!)
And enjoy nothing better than a trashion show in a boom-tastic field!
Festivals + Fashion Upcycling = Sustainable Fun FOR EVERYONE (guaranteed!)
We bring along a stack of funky preloved clothes; a team of super-cool helpers, and all the upcycling kit to help you transform old clobber into fantastic festival styling.
Express yourself and get creative. Be your own label!
The Swish team get ready for another glorious day of fashion upcycling at Green Man ’23.

Have fun in the sun, playing with shiny trimmings, recycled textiles and a tent (very important, that bit… rain HAS been known to fall!) We’re back out again this summer, so look out for us at a festival near you.
Are you A SUPER-COOL FESTIVAL PROGRAMMER? Want to bring the upcycling fun to your groovy (and grateful!) crowds? Holler for us at hello@theswish.co.uk. We’ll dust off our sequins; load up our gazebo, and come swishing your way!
