Cockermouth’s popular fashion and shopping experience is back and this time there’s a great opportunity to pick up a bargain in time for school prom season!
Cockfrock Spring 2025 takes place at the town’s Kirkgate Centre on Saturday May 17 and Sunday May 18.
The annual two-day sale of pre-loved, good quality ladies’ fashion has become established as a key part of the town’s calendar.
Kirkgate chief executive Emma Heys said: “Looking for a knockout prom dress at a knockdown price? Then this is the sale for you!
“We’re gearing up for prom season at this year’s spring sale so if you have a glamorous gown languishing in a wardrobe why not register to sell and find it a loving new home?
“We’re hoping that this focus on prom season will help many households enjoy that fun night in a much more cost-effective way, as new prom dresses can run into hundreds of pounds.
“However, May’s event is not all about prom night. We’ll be looking for new homes for good quality ladies’ fashions and accessories across the board, while making a little bit of welcome money for sellers.”
People can register as a seller at Cockfrock here.
Sellers don’t need to come to the sale. All they need to do is get the clothes labelled and ready on hangers and drop them off with the paperwork the Thursday evening or Friday morning before the sale opens.
Drop off times for sellers are Thursday May 15 from 3.30pm to 5pm, or 7pm to 8pm, or Friday May 16 between 9 and 11am.
To register as a seller costs just £2.
Emma added: “Once you are registered as a seller you will be given a unique code (this will be the ‘seat number’ emailed to you).
“In this email you will also receive a link to download all information on labelling and delivering your goods, as well as collection of unsold items.
“Seventy per cent of the money received for an item goes to the seller and 30 per cent goes to Kirkgate Arts & Heritage but we would be over the moon if you’d like to donate all your proceeds to us! Simply let us know when dropping off your clothes.”
