People are encouraged to bring their pre-loved clothes to the gallery prior to the event to give them a new lease of life. 

The swap is part of the gallery's Community Takeover Programme which runs from April 1 to 23. 

Southampton Clothes Swap is a monthly event in spaces across the city where people can bring clothes they no longer want and swap them for items they do.

No ticket is required for the event, but ticket holders receive a free raffle ticket.
