Welcome to Cowley Community Closet, our sustainable, anti-capitalist, queer-run swap shop! We started CCC with nothing but a passion for second-hand fashion, and our mission to build a community-centred space has quickly grown.

We volunteer our time and energy to promise that our events and swaps will always be free so we've recently started a Patreon to help cover our expenses. We're passionate about staying true to our values while keeping the swap open and accessible for all. If you're in a position to help out and would like to support us, we would be so grateful if you could check out our Patreon. Our lowest tier is only £1 a month (or £1 per swap!), and you get a free token at each of our swaps as a thank you.

Our Cowley swap is hosted by The Star pub. The Star has a portable ramp at the entrance, level access in the front room. There is another ramp leading into the back room where the swap shop is hosted. The Star does not have a wheelchair accessible bathroom. Our quiet hour is from 2 - 3pm. 

Our Cardiff swap is hosted by Umbrella Gallery. Umbrella is located in Capitol Shopping Centre and both the Centre and the Gallery have level access throughout. Capitol Centre has accessible bathroom for disabled users with a radar key on the ground floor.
