Description
Join us on Gloucester Road as we visit 13 different thrift shops back to back!
A great chance to pick up some new clothes and scope out this iconic Bristol street. Buying second-hand is cheaper and much more sustainable. There will also be an optional social towards the end of the session in one of the cafés on Gloucester Road.
Everyone is welcome to come along.
