Sweida's Warehouse Costume Sale

Overview

With the end of the year comes plenty of occasions to dress up — and not just don your sleekest threads, but put on a costume. Maybe you need something spooky for Halloween. Perhaps you really want to spread the festive cheer. Or, you could just need something wizard-related for one of Brisbane's regular Harry Potter-themed events.

Operating for more than a century — first as a hairdresser, then selling wigs and theatrical supplies, and later turning to fancy dress and costumes — Sweida's knows all about throwing on a different outfit. And for two days, it's hosting a huge sale at its Salisbury warehouse to help Brisbanites do just that. Head by between 9am–2pm on Friday, October 5 and 9am–1pm on Saturday, October 6 to add a few new costumes, props, masks, hats, accessories and samples to your own rack. It's a cash-only affair, so arrive prepared.

There'll be prizes and giveaways too — and if if you can't make it, watch this space. Depending on what's left after the first two days, the sale might extend to the following weekend as well.
