The iconic Peter Pan Op Shop is going to be bigger than ever with one grand sale that you won’t want to miss!

COMING SOON – All season GRAND sale
Peter Pan Op Shop, May 2025


410 Oxford Street, Paddington NSW 2021

The Peter Pan Committee will be holding one all-season Op Shop Sale in late May 2025. This brand-new event will have extended hours, an exclusive opening evening and much, much more.

We understand this is a change to the usual two sales per year but hope you will join us next year for this grand event, where we hope to support more children and families than ever before.

Thank you for your valuable and continued support of this iconic event and for making a difference to the lives of many. 

Keep an eye out for more details coming soon details coming soon.

Dating back to World War II, the Op Shop is run by the dedicated women of the Peter Pan Committee who have supported our work with vulnerable children and families for over 85 years. It has since become an iconic fundraising event held twice a year in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs where those with an eye for fashion can scour the racks for top-end items at rock bottom prices.

The sale features designer brands such as Bianca Spendersass & bide and Zimmermann, with all clothing, footwear and accessories donated to help raise much-needed funds for our programs and services.

A heartfelt thank you to all who donate to our Op Shop sale. From large designer brands to local Sydney women, your generous support ensures Barnardos can continue providing urgent care and essential services to those most vulnerable. Thanks to the kindness of people like you, last year we helped a total of 10,987 children, young people and their families!

Clothes donation appeal
