Endless treasures! ✨

When was the last time you had a browse through the racks along the Wallsend Op Shop Trail?

Unfortunately after more than 25 years, Wesley Retail Wallsend is closing its doors on Wednesday 7 June 2023... Although we're sad to see this store go, the good news is you're invited to grab a bargain prior to closure on June 7! 💲✂️

Everything must go. No reasonable offer refused. Get in-store and grab yourself some second-hand treasures before its too late!

The Wallsend Op Shop Trail is proudly brought to you by City of Newcastle, Wow Wallsend, and Purple Card Project. This is another initiative delivered under your Special Business Rate program.

We LOVE this question. 😏

There's no better feeling than someone complimenting one of your thrifted finds from the Wallsend Op Shop Trail!

Are your clothes not suitable for donation? Get crafting! ✂️

"This is not waste" was a fantastic demonstration of what you can do with clothing that may be beyond repair... What a fun day!

Taking another look back on our Repair Cafe Pop-up, what an awesome day! 🙌

We all learned some extremely valuable skills to save our clothes in the future thanks to Upcycle Newcastle...
