Clothes Cycle is coming back to Dublin on Sunday, 1 November, taking over two halls at the Royal Dublin Society (RDS) in Ballsbridge. Following a sold-out spring event that booked out three weeks in advance, this edition will increase capacity by 50%, hosting over 150 vintage and independent sellers.
The one-day thrift festival is expected to attract thousands of shoppers, continuing to build on its success across Ireland, including sold-out events in Belfast and Cork. Spread across more than 35,000 square feet, the event offers a wide range of second-hand fashion, from bargain finds to rare luxury archive pieces.
Beyond shopping, Clothes Cycle aims to provide a full-day experience with live DJs and music, street food stalls, a fully stocked bar, chill-out areas, and outdoor seating. Visitors can also participate in a free all-day clothes swap by bringing up to five items to exchange, enjoy a free alteration station, and explore pop-ups featuring jewellery, tooth gems, and tattoos.
Founder Poppy Collingwood-Cameron highlighted the growth of the event, saying, “It’s been amazing to see how much Clothes Cycle has grown, and Ireland has been such a big part of that. Our last Dublin event sold out three weeks in advance, so we knew we had to come back bigger. We’re really looking forward to bringing even more sellers, more space and even more of the Clothes Cycle experience to Dublin this November.”
Since its launch in 2022, Clothes Cycle has expanded across the UK and Ireland, making second-hand shopping more accessible and social for thousands of people.
Tickets for the Dublin event are available online here.
