The best place run by the best gal.

The best place run by the best gal. I never fail to come out of this place with a whole new outfit, and the best part is I've helped the planet by doing so. From last season clothes to vintage, there's something for everyone. And I always manage to find a new pair of platform shoes, which to me is just perfect, or maybe obsessed. I've attended, second hand Saturdays, opening nights, sale events,and I always feel welcomed and appreciated and celebrated. As we all should be.
Keep doing all the amazing things Sam, forever proud of what you've created

I’ve been a long time fan of Circular Studio...

I’ve been a long time fan of Circular Studio and have the best time at their events with my mum. And I love meeting other women who love Circular Studio too. The concept is fantastic.

What’s more, at the last event I attended (Secondhand Saturday) I was able to bring in items I don’t wear and purchase items on the day with credit - and the items I got were everything. Two pieces (black flared jeans and a sleeveless fitted turtleneck black dress) that were exactly what I was looking for. I’m still buzzing off those finds and I get so many compliments on them. Big, big fan.

💕 My mam and I have been to the Circular Studio twice in a week!

💕 My mam and I have been to the Circular Studio twice in a week! - The Fill a Bag event was brilliant, lots of different styles of clothing and all sorted into size piles. Today we went to the End of Summer sale and I picked up some really lovely items for as little as £1! 😮. Love the concept of donating clothes for in-store credit - I’ll deffo be doing this next! Sam is super lovely and helpful. A great find! X

Here's some extra questions, answered for you!

Do I need a ticket?

For Second Hand Saturdays, credit days and workshops, yes. Booking a slot keeps it comfy and stops everyone turning up at 10am. On the 28–29 November shopping days you can just turn up.

What can I bring to Second Hand Saturday?

Clean womenswear and menswear in good condition, plus shoes and accessories. There's no cap on how much you bring.

Kids' clothes are welcome as donations, but they don't earn credit. We can't take swimwear, underwear, pyjamas, homeware, CDs, DVDs or toys.

Is there menswear?

Yes. Most of the rails are womenswear, but there's menswear too, and you can bring men's clothes to Second Hand Saturday for credit.

How does credit work?

Every item we accept is £1 of credit. You don't have to spend it on the day: it carries over to the next Second Hand Saturday or credit day. Credit can't be swapped for cash or used at other events.

Can I bring the kids?

Yes. Under 4s go free, and kids aged 4 to 15 have their own ticket.

What if I can't make it?

We have a 24-hour cancellation policy. The details are in our refund policy.

Where do I park?

Down the lane or anywhere on the industrial estate. Look for the pink sign at Unit 31B, behind the silver fence near Howdens. We're not in Douglas House.
