Do you have an Eye for a Bargain?

 

If the answer is ‘YES’ then why not take part in one of Ilminster Forum's Swap Shops.

 

At the SWAP SHOP, organised by Ilminster Forum, you will find bargains as well as Fun and Activities for all the family.

 

What can you swap?

 

  • Books, Fiction and Reference for children and adult.
  • DVDs, CDs and computer games
  • Baby items
  • Toys and Board Games
  • Garden items
  • Kitchenware, curtains, bedding, etc
  • And much more....

 

To enter, bring just ONE item to the SWAP SHOP and you can take up to THREE items away.

 

If you have no unwanted items you want to bring, you can still get in to view the items and take up to 3 items away by paying a 50p entrance fee.

 

It's that simple! Here is a great chance to have a clear out and get new items for free, all in the name of sustainability - re-use, recycle and get involved with your local community.

 

As well as the SWAP SHOP there will be a range of other activities to keep you and the kids busy. The venue is close to the centre of town – so be sure to drop by, even if it’s only for a cup of tea after your morning shop !
