Love a good bargain? Looking to refresh your wardrobe sustainably? Or perhaps you've got quality clothes ready for a new home?

Join us for Second Glance, a second-hand clothing market hosted by City Mission and proudly supported by Burnie City Council. 

Come along to buy, sell, browse and discover pre-loved fashion while enjoying the atmosphere of the newly renovated Burnie Arts Plaza. It's a fun, affordable and sustainable way to shop while supporting a circular economy!

If the weather doesn't cooperate, the event will move indoors to the Long Room.

Winterlight invites you to connect and enjoy the magic of Winter!

Step out of the cold and wander through our eco-friendly community makers market in the stunning St Lukes Wellness Hub, enjoy live music, face painting, and the comforting aroma of hot drinks.

This event is all about community with 10% of all profits to be donated to the City Mission Winter Appeal, and we’ll also be collecting warm blankets in good condition for those who need a little extra warmth this season.

Come together, support sustainable shopping, discover unique gifts, and be part of a feel-good market that gives back, to both the people and the planet.
