the space for second-hand 

Housed in our Ouseburn Retail Hub, our retail team have got a knack for finding the coolest vintage clothes, homeware, and furniture. We do the hunting, so you can enjoy the unique and exciting pieces we discover.

You can expect a series of pop-up retail events at the space. Whether it’s a kilo sale, vinyl fair, charity shop or art show, every item you buy supports St Oswald’s Hospice, helping us provide care and support to those who need it most.

The Charity Shop Market will be open late on Thursday 12th December as part of’ Ouseburn Late Night Shopping.

See you soon!

Last week, we had to close our much-anticipated Charity Shop Christmas Market due to the adverse weather conditions brought on by Storm Darragh. Our staff and volunteers have worked incredibly hard over the past few weeks to make the market a success, and we want to ensure their efforts can be enjoyed by as many people as possible. Therefore we have decided to reopen the Christmas Market on Thursday 12th December through to Saturday 14th December – woohoo!

To give the Christmas Market the attention it deserves, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the £2 Kilo Sale originally scheduled for Saturday 14th December. But don’t worry—the Kilo Sales will return in the new year, bigger and better than ever.

Shop kids toys, games, storybooks, activity books, clothes and more just in time for Christmas gifting.

Best charity shop find?

My beautiful cherry red Chesterfield sofa, a total steal from our Kingston Park warehouse!

I love a good rummage at a kilo sale, we have two a month at the space and I always find loads of great stuff.

Best charity shop find?

A few years ago I got a black vintage Gucci Tom Ford era shoulder bag from the 90s.

Favourite type of event?

A good old-fashioned Car Boot. It’s the getting up early, the bartering, the smells, and seeing toys and clothes for sale that you had growing up; it all feels very nostalgic.

Best charity shop find?

Probably my Newcastle brown ale jumper!
