Barras Market in Glasgow to host fashion pop-up

TRNSMT has partnered up with the East End landmark for the event, which will take place on Saturday, June 1. 

The one-day-only event will allow attendees to shop sustainable fashion rails with clothes provided by stores like Pre-loved Charity and R:evolve, as well as bring their pre-loved clothing for customisation. 

Glasgow fashion creator and stylist, Shauna McGregor will also be bringing some of her pre-loved festival clothing and will be on hand to style outfits. 

There will also be live music from the likes of Ben Walker and Kerr Mercer, as well as some delicious food. 

Hidden among the rails will also be golden labels, giving five lucky winners two free VIP tickets to the Glasgow Green festival, which will take place between July 12 and 14.

Kevin Mackay, sustainability lead at DF Concerts, said: “As the festival approaches, we know that fans will be starting to plan their day - and their festival outfit might be at the top of their list. 

"The legendary Barras Market sits on the edge of Glasgow Green and has totally transformed sustainable shopping for the city - so it was only right that we took over the market for one day to give festival-goers the chance to shop sustainably while enjoying a taste of the weekend that awaits us in July. 

“We want 2024 to be our most sustainable summer of live music yet and we encourage everyone to join us to all play our part in taking conscious climate action - buying second-hand or swapping with pals is just one way to support this. We also encourage fans to travel by public transport, try plant-based meals, and recycle when they’re on site.”

Wendy Chambers, head of growth and sustainability at R:evolve Recycle said: “We know the TRNSMT crowd are going to love our vibe. We have a cracking range of festival gear that will get heads turning, but won't cost the earth. If you see something you love, why not become a member of our swap shop? When the big event is over, you can simply swap it again in our swap shop boutique”.

"This event is a fantastic opportunity to connect with the community in Glasgow and promote a more sustainable future together. It is great to see the revival of the Barras market in the past few years and we're excited to come down and soak up the atmosphere on the day."
