SUPER JUMBLE: The Great British Jumble Sale Reinvented.

The jumble sale is part of British culture and the forerunner of car boot sales and charity shops, taking place in church halls since the 1880s. A century and a half later the humble jumble is being supersized as SUPER JUMBLE debuts in London at the magnificent Mercato Metropolitano in Elephant and Castle on June 14th, 2025.

Three iconic second-hand retailers are coming together for the first time to offer a lucky 1,000 people the chance to rummage through mountains of second-hand and charity fashion and vintage pieces. Triad, London’s best charity fashion retailer, Beyond Retro will bring the best of American vintage and the second-hand sensation that is Charity Super.Mkt are joining forces to bring a genuinely low cost and fun way to shop for second-hand and affordable vintage fashion to London.

What to expect: not your average humble jumble.
With the increasing popularity of immersive and interactive experiences, SUPER JUMBLE will modernise and gamify the classic jumble sale format – on a scale like never before. There will still be the “elbows out” scramble and sweaty brows as jumblers rush to get to the goodies first but to spice that up SUPER JUMBLE is adding klaxons, MC’s, vinyl spinning DJ’s, street food and a pint.

SUPER JUMBLE is launching at Mercato Metropolitano (arguably London’s coolest and best food and drink venue). Running through breakfast, brunch and lunch for the sustainably hungry clothing shopper SUPER JUMBLE will feature a live DJ soundtrack with guest DJ’s doing warm up sets for London’s Saturday night venues.

Maria Chenoweth co-founder of Super Jumble, Charity Super.Mkt and CEO of Traid, “The fashion industry is producing more clothes than ever before, and with the continued uptake of ultra-fast fashion, production is only set to increase. There are currently enough garments on the planet to dress the next six generations, so it’s vital we keep these items in use. SUPER JUMBLE is an event of scale, with the aim of making style affordable and accessible, but importantly, it will get more people in the UK embracing second-hand fashion – for the good of the planet”.

Wayne Hemingway co-founder of HemingwayDesign and the iconic British fashion brand, Red or Dead, as well as co-founder of Charity Super.Mkt, and The Classic Car Boot Sale and The Vintage Festival, “The jumble sale allowed me to put outfits together as a punk in 1976 and the local jumble sale played a big part in the start of my career. From 1980 and through to the mid-80s Saturdays consisted of haring round the church halls and scout huts of Northwest London filling an old, battered estate car with jumble and dropping it off at my stall at Camden Market. The thrill of the chase, the competition to spot those brilliant prints and fabrics in a pile of clothes got the heart beating.

On a serious note
There are so many problems with fashion, it’s polluting the planet by being overproduced, overconsumed, and then discarded. In addition, it can eat disproportionately at people’s disposable incomes. Outside of the UK’s great charity retail, clothing is still ending up in our bins, incinerated, ending up in landfill, new clothes are shredded.

SUPER JUMBLE aims to increase the amount of second-hand clothes worn and sold in the UK from the current 71% of the population wearing something second-hand to 100%. Add to this the continuing cost of living crisis and SUPER JUMBLE is an event for modern times.

SUPER JUMBLE is launching as a response to an overabundance of unsold second-hand goods and SUPER JUMBLE offers it to the UK public at an affordable price and in a large-scale venue that highlights the scale of the clothing problem.

We also know that people love to socialise and come together for a common purpose, we know this from our experience with the Classic Car Boot Sale, Hemingway Design’s, Vintage Festivals and Charity Super. Mkt where scale, great music, purposeful shopping, food and repair workshops bring people together.

Most importantly many people love clothes and love to get dressed up or down, fast fashion highlights that currently people want cheap mass quantities, SUPER JUMBLE is offering the best dressed solution, a chance to wear clothing that otherwise would have gone on to increase carbon emissions, through landfill, incineration or export. SUPER JUMBLE helps the cohort of people who are choosing to cut back through “No spend months and the like and those heavily impacted by the costs of living crisis.

SUPER JUMBLE is both a pre – ticketed and on the door event, with early bird tickets sold online for £7 allowing people to get the best pickings.

A second wave of jumblers pay £5 and a final wave pay £2.
The doors open at 9am for the £7 early birders.
The second wave (£5) of jumblers enter at 10.30 and the final wave (£2) enter at midday.
The whole event is wrapped up at 2pm.

We all know Jumble is Massive – lets great ready for a rumble in Jumble
