Concrete playground: Peter Pan Summer Op Shop Sale 2023

Posted on by Barnardos

The biannual clothing drive returns to Paddo RSL this November.

For almost 80 years, a biannual, women-only charity event has been putting clothes on the backs of customers and vulnerable children alike. Hosted by Barnardos Australia and the Peter Pan Committee, the Peter Pan Summer Op Shop brings together donations from everyday Aussies alongside designer brands for three days of clothing bargains. All the proceeds go to Barnardos, a charity dedicated to helping vulnerable children who suffer from abuse or neglect.

The upcoming Peter Pan Summer Op Shop will be hosted at the Paddington RSL from Friday, November 10 to Sunday, November 12. On offer will be a massive haul of wearable items, including a surplus of designer goods, pre-loved favourites, vintage pieces or end-of-season stock from local retailers. Additionally, this time, Kult Models will be supporting the event with clothing and talent to support the proceedings.

Donations are still welcome and encouraged, so if your wardrobe is overflowing with outfits you never wear anymore, this is a great reason to send them to a new home — your clothes will join a catalogue next to brands like Sass & Bide, Zimmermann, Dior, Camilla and more.

The Peter Pan Summer Op Shop runs from 10.30am to 5pm on Friday, November 10 and Saturday, November 11, and then from 10.30am to 3pm on Sunday, November 12. For more information, click here.
