Thrifty Threads is back for 2025!

Hamilton City Council is partnering with Hospice Waikato to reduce the clothing sent to landfill with a pop-up op-shop experience at The Meteor.

Simply pay the entry fee at the door (cash or Eftpos), bring your bags and find some pre-loved gems.

Thurs 11 September 4pm-8pm
Fri 12 September 10am-8pm
Sat 13 September 10am-2pm

Cost:

$20 per person
$10 with a valid student ID

All door sale proceeds go back to Hospice Waikato.

As well as our usual clothing sale, this year we’re excited to be working with Serving Up T, Sip&Sew and Hamilton City Libraries to offer extra events and workshops to expand the Thrifty Threads kaupapa.
