Upcyling, re-versioning and mending.

Everything deserves a second chance, says the team from ReDo Norfolk.

ReDo Norfolk saves half a ton of textiles from landfill every month, and has plenty of examples of clothes and items created from wardrobe clear outs!

Find them in The Forum's main Atrium, throughout the Festival, where they'll have a stash of textiles and other materials for you to buy.

They'll also be delighted to receive materials you'd like to pass on.

ReDo Norfolk are also offering a series of free, upcycling workshops throughout the Festival. See below.
