CARNDONAGH will come alive
with colour and creativity this weekend as Shopping
Spraoi returns for a special pop-up event. The
sustainable fashion showcase will take place on
Saturday, 6th September from 12pm – 3pm at the Garden
Centre on Moss Road, Carndonagh. |

Expect to see a wide range
of goods to swap or buy at Shopping Spraoi pop-up. |
The event is part of
Spraoi agus Spórt’s circular economy hub, Síoraí, and
offers young people a fun and affordable way to refresh
their wardrobes while helping the planet. Visitors can
expect rails of pre-loved fashion, swap opportunities,
live demonstrations, and plenty of inspiration for
making more sustainable choices.
Project co-ordinator Aoibhín Nolan says it’s the third
Shopping Spraoi event to date and is about community and
creativity as much as clothing. “It’s a chance for young
people to come together, try something new, and see how
exciting sustainable fashion can be. Shopping Spraoi
makes it easy to look good, feel good and do good — all
at the same time.” |

This latest pop-up - the
second one this year- also includes hands-on repair and
upcycling tips, alongside live music to keep the energy
buzzing. Whether you’re swapping, shopping, or just
curious about sustainability, there will be something
for everyone.
“Events like this show that small actions can make a big
difference,” says Aoibhín. “By swapping instead of
buying new, we’re extending the life of clothes and
cutting down on waste.”
