The Circular studio
"The second hand clothing warehouse that's like Vinted, but in real life"...
Refreshing your wardrobe has never been easier. Events designed to re home your unwanted items, without the stress of endless hours of listing or feeling guilty that they'll end up in landfill.
Second Hand Saturday
Bring in your unwanted items in exchange for in-store credit. 1 item equals £1 in-store credit, so if you bring in 50 items, you get £50 to spend. There's also no cap on the number of items you bring in!
Q. How many items can I bring in?
A. The number of items is unlimited, all that we ask is that everything is clean and is in good condition. We don't credit pyjamas, swimwear or underwear.
Q. What items do you accept?
A. We accept womenswear and menswear items - this includes shoes and accessories. We don't currently accept kids clothing. We don't accept swimwear, underwear or pyjamas. We also don't accept homeware, cds, dvds, or toys.
Q. How does it work?
A. Our events sell out, we recommend booking a ticket as soon as they're released. Please bring your items in at the allocated time slot. A member of our team will count your items and provide you with a credit voucher. You don't have to spend your credit straight away, but it can only be used at our SHS events. Or £10 credit can be used in our shop during the week.
£5 Fill a Bag
Our £5 Fill a Bag event is like an old school jumble sale. Grab yourself a new wardrobe for £5, so if you get 10 items in a bag, that 0.50p each. Some items may need a little TLC, but a little elbow grease is worth it if it means it costs less.
Q. The event is £10, what does that cover?
A. It's £5 entry + £5 a bag. 4 and under's go free, otherwise a ticket is needed for entry.
Q. The bags look small, I'm not sure it's value for money...
A. The bags are deceiving, our team has managed to get 21 items in a bag. On average people get 12 items in a bag. If you can't find anything, we recommend filling your bag and then bringing them back to Second Hand Saturday in exchange for credit - that way you're never losing out.
Q. How does it work?
A. Upon arrival we will check you in and hand you your bag. You can then shop from rails of clothing! All items must be in the bag and not resting on top. Any additional bags are £4 and can be purchased using cash or card.
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 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! - 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

Great question, Second Hand Saturday is our clothing exchange event where you can trade your old clothing in, in exchange for in-store credit.
Fill a Bag is where you pay for your entry and bag, and you can fill your bag with clothing.
This year we are running Second Hand Saturday less. This is due to the number of items we receive during a single event (roughly 4,000-6,000 items. Our Fill a Bag events take place once a month.
We don't offer refunds on our events as terms and conditions are agreed to when purchasing a ticket. If you are unable to attend an event, we are able to transfer your ticket to a new date providing it is 24 hours before the event is due to start. If you are no longer able unable to attend an event, we can also refund your ticket.
All of our events take place from our unit in Caerphilly. Our address is Unit E3, The Circular Studio, Sir Alfred Owen Way, Caerphilly, CF83 3HU
