About

ClothesCycle, the UK’s largest thrift market, is coming back to Newcastle on Sunday 24th May 2026, and trust us, this is not your average market.

We can promise you this is like no other market or event you’ve attended before. ClothesCycle offers the ultimate pop-up thrifting experience, with a carefully curated lineup of over 100 sellers, bringing together a huge variety of styles and items including plus-size, gender-neutral, menswear and womenswear.

We offer the biggest and best range of pre-loved clothing. Spread across 25,000+ square feet, our sellers cater to every taste and every budget. You can spend £10 on a handful of great finds or splash over £100 on a rare luxury archive piece. Hunt through luxury pre-loved wardrobes or dig through £2 bargain buckets, the choice is yours.

You can easily spend the whole day at ClothesCycle. Alongside the thrifting, we offer activities, food, drink and music to give you a much-needed break between rails.

What to expect

Vintage (all kinds), streetwear, Y2K, retro, big brands, luxury brands, handmade clothing, bags, shoes, jewellery, archive pieces, current trends, boho, pre-loved wardrobes, bargains under £5, one-off pieces, 90s, sportswear, artists, prints, greeting cards, plants, ceramics and much more.

There truly is something for everyone, of all ages and interests.

You’ll get first access to stock curated by our sellers exclusively for this pop-up, which cannot be found online. Many sellers who usually trade online will also be offering discounted prices on the day.
