Opening Hours:
Wed - Fri 10am - 3:30pm
Saturday 10am - 1pm. The Garage Sale is a Project Lyttelton initiative run mostly by volunteers. It is Lyttelton's much loved charity op-shop and fully functioning community trading center. The shop is a hub for our community to connect in a safe, welcoming, and inclusive place. It is also where donations may be reused, recycled and repurposed. Locals donate their unwanted items and The Garage Sale team happily sell them. Locals can also trade their donations for Time Bank credits - it's a win win for everyone. The Garage Sale is also available to local harbour community groups as an opportunity to raise funds for their group. This is how it works:
- A community group makes a booking to run The Garage Sale on
either a Saturday (10am-1pm).
- On the day 2-3 Volunteers from that community group arrive and run
The Garage Sale.
- The community group keeps the funds raised on the day - typically
$200-$400 and gives a $20-$40 contribution to Project Lyttelton for
administration, advertising, power, and dump fees etc. We have had at least 20 community groups take up this opportunity before, running the shop on a Saturday morning. This is a busy morning as visitors to the Farmers Market also come up and visit the shop. Please contact us to ask how this can work for your community group. Our volunteers are a fun team, each of us bringing our own magic and skills to the shop. We are always looking for more volunteer help, and we'd love to hear from you if this is something you might be interested in. A: 54 Oxford Street, Lyttelton
