Bargain hunters had a recession- busting shopping fix at an Ashton Gate charity event.

Swish 'n' Swap enabled clothes lovers to find a new outfit by swapping their own unwanted items with someone else's. All swishers had to bring at least one item of quality clothing and could browse before the swapping began.

Organisers said it was a great combination of fundraising, ethical shopping and bargain hunting to give people a guilt-free new wardrobe as well as a fun night out.

Money raised from the event, held at Ashton Gate stadium, went towards Wallace and Gromit's Grand Appeal Charity, raising funds for Bristol Children's Hospital and St Michael's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Personal stylist and image consultant Niki Whittle was also on hand to offer advice on how to dress for different body shapes.
