Cheap, nearly new baby and children's toys, clothes, books and equipment will all be up for grabs when a new mum2mum market begins indoors at Fletcher Hall, Swinton, next Saturday 13th July between 2pm and 4pm.
It is being launched by local mum and grandparent, Jo Hewitt, who says: "I heard about mum2mum market through a friend and thought it was a brilliant idea. I am so excited to be giving local parents the opportunity to buy great quality second hand goods or make some cash from their outgrown children's stuff."
The mum2mum markets were first started in 2011 by mum of two Cath Harrop who, having bought and sold on ebay and at car boot sales, realised there was a need for event which brought together local parents so they can sell to each other face to face.
"I found ebay frustrating as a buyer and expensive as a seller, and buying a pushchair that turned up filthy and broken was the final straw" Cath explains "I was convinced there must be a better way and mum2mum market was born..."
Since then Cath now has a network of local mums running their own mum2mum markets across the UK with at least twenty stalls at each selling goods in excellent condition. Large items like designer prams and large toys sell for about one third of the retail price whereas baby and children's clothes start at just 50p. Meanwhile, parents selling goods keep 100% of their proceeds.
