Here’s how to get involved in the Big Irthlingborough Sort Out this weekend
Irthlingborough residents are urged to take part in the Big Sort Out, an initiative aiming to bring the community together with a town-wide garage sale on Sunday, May 3.
The event, organised by local estate agent Bywater Herrings, will begin at 9am, with houses taking part being handed packs including signs to put up to show they are taking part.
Houses who are taking part will have the opportunity to slim down on their unwanted items in the run-up to summer.
A Bywater Herrings spokesman said: “People all over town will be setting up their own garage sale outside their homes — on driveways, in front gardens or outside garages — selling things they no longer need.
“It’s a great chance to have a clear out, make a bit of extra money and be part of something fun across the whole town.
"We would love to get as many streets involved as possible, from Crow Hill to Pine Trees and everywhere in between.
"There is also an optional opportunity for participants to donate some or all of their proceeds to I-Grow Irthlingborough, supporting local community events in the town.”
The day will also be supporting I Grow, a local outreach group which organises events and activities in Irthlingborough such as monthly bingo, May Day celebrations, summer oicnic bash, a festival of Remembrance and Christmas lights switch-on.
Those who are keen to hold a stall during the Big Sort Out are asked to visit Bywater Herring in the High Street or to contact the business on social media or via email at [email protected] to sign up.
