Clothes Swap
Pre-Loved & Good-Nick Threads
Got some epic clothes you don't wear anymore and keen to see them being worn and loved by your community? The HomeFire clothes swap has become a bit of an institution and you are invited to get in amongst it! Bring your quality pieces to add to the mix. Those who contribute to the space will get first dibs before it is opened up to the wider village :-)

Creative Makers Space
Last year saw the debut of the woodwork and carving zone. There is some exciting development and inspiration in this space. Please get in touch if you are a worker of wood in all its many forms. There is a desire to recreate the Tribal Portal, perhaps 2026 is the year!
