  Bear Swap & Sell

  Do you have a ton of old clothes that don't fit any more? Want to share your fabulous fashions with your bear kindred?

  On Sunday 27 September Harbour City Bears is hosting an apparel swap and sell at the Inner West Pride centre in Newtown! Donate your good old apparel, and you'll be able to pick up an equal number of items from the selection donated by others! If you don’t have any to donate, you can still purchase on the day. 

  How it works 

  Donations

  If you want to donate items: Bring your clean, good-condition clothes and accessories to us before the event.

  No clothes to donate? No problem! You can still come browse and purchase items at very affordable prices.

  Leftovers go to a good cause: Anything that doesn't find a new home will be donated to local charities. 

  You can drop off your items before the event.

  • Bring items to the committee any Sunday at the Townie
  • Prefer another time? Just reach out to arrange it!

  We'll be having it in conjunction with the AGM- so come along and browse while the procedural stuff is happening!

  Harbour City Bears is invading Newcastle Again!

  The weekend of 24-25 October, we’re heading up north for a weekend of fun activities with the Newcastle Bears!

  We've got some fun things planned in Newcastle including Newcastle Pride Fair Day. Also, as always, you’re free to explore Newcastle on your own or with friends.

  After that, we’re all meeting up to kick on at Bernie’s Bar, Newcastle’s best LGBTQ+ venue, who is hosting Newcastle Bears’ monthly meetup that night! Bernie’s boasts a great dinner menu, as well as a great selection of cocktails. Meet your northern kindred and catch up with the local scene.

  We’ve also booked two entire floors of the Ibis Newcastle exclusively for us, with rooms on sale soon. Of course if you prefer, you can stay elsewhere, but if you’re planning on booking a hotel, book through us as we’ve secured a great rate.

  Sunday if you’re not too dusty, we’ll explore the local area with our new friends, and then head home just in time for the Sunday Social at the Townie!
