It's your chance to find unique gems & give pre-loved items a new home! Based on our past events, people love connecting over the stories behind their items, and many new friendships have blossomed here. Grab your Sunday brunch, coffee, snacks while you swap!

We welcome a wide range of categories, including clothes, books, shoes, kitchenware, toys, electronics, accessories, sportswear, and more. Party outfits are welcome too! Please note, we cannot accept food, medicine, or underwear, but party outfits are welcomed! 2. What can I take? You don’t need to bring something to take something! Everything on the display tables is free to take. However, we recommend to only take things you really need! 3. What should I do when I arrive? You’ll see signs for different categories like kitchenware, toys, and electronics when you arrive. Simply sort your items into the appropriate categories either by yourself or with the help of our volunteers. 4. What else can I do at the event besides swapping? URBAyN is an amazing spot for brunch, coffee, cakes, and hanging out. Grab your Sunday coffee and enjoy a great time with friends! With spacious indoor and outdoor seating, it's the perfect place to relax on a Sunday afternoon. 5. Can I sell my stuff at the event? No. Everything on display tables is free to take. There is no exchange based on how much or how little you bring, or the relative expense of the items. However, we recommend to only take things you really need! 6. When’s the best time to come? We’ll be there right on time, and you’re welcome to arrive anytime! That said, we recommend coming by 2:30 PM, especially if you're bringing items to give away—this way, they’ll have a better chance of finding new homes, and you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the event. If you show up early and don’t see anything that catches your eye, we suggest sticking around a bit or taking a break by the river and swinging back later—people arrive at different times, and new treasures pop up throughout the day. Of course, you’re welcome to stay as long as you like to enjoy your coffee and cake at the venue. 7. Is it a social event? Absolutely! We are very social and please come say hi to Joyce (organiser) if you have any questions or just need someone to chat with! Based on our past events, people love connecting over the stories behind their items, and many new friendships have blossomed here. 8. Is the space dog-friendly and baby-friendly? YES YES YES! 9. What happens to items left over after the event? Any items left at the end of the event will be donated to either Systemfehler, Wühlisch40, or placed at the entrance of a nearby apartment buildings for others to take.
