Calvin Crichton, chief princess at Big Feed, said: "We're all finding things tough at the minute – I have a little one myself so I really do get it.
"We wanted to create a fun event for the whole family where budget isn't an issue, so it's totally free to come along and join in the Swapshop or even put together a stall yourself to clear out the loft or cupboards."
Parents are encouraged to bring items their children have outgrown to exchange for something new.
Calvin said: "People seem to be excited about the chance to get rid of or upcycle stuff – it's sustainable and saves cash and really it's just the smart thing to do.
"Kids outgrow stuff, lose interest and move on – so those toys can become a dream come true for other children."

Calvin stressed that anyone can take part, with or without a stall.
He said: "We have had so many messages – kids can have their own stalls if they have an adult with them to look after them, and you don't have to have a stall to trade.
"Bring along your items and see what you can swap them for, or if you take a stall you can buy, sell, barter – all of it is up to you.
"We all need to pull together to help each other right now and we're making sure there's lots free of charge on site to keep the kids entertained.
"This is about giving back and also just sharing a bit of good – escape all the madness of the world, trade some toys and games and then hang with the Disney Princesses.

Calvin Harris heartbroken as Scot DJ's pet 'murdered by idiot neighbour's dog'
Calvin Harris has shared his devastation following the death of his beloved pet Smokey as he fumed his neighbours' dog had 'murdered' him. Calvin Harris has been left "gutted" following the death of his beloved pet as he claimed they were "murdered" by his neighbours. The Dumfries DJ, who recently welcomed his first child, shared a photo of him holding his beloved cockerel Smokey as he shared the sad news. He paid tribute to the cockerel alongside a snap of him topless in his large garden, reports the Mirror. Calvin wrote: "RIP Smokey we love you. Raised this lad from chick to a majestic cockerel. "Murdered by the idiot neighbours grimey dog. Absolutely gutted." Last week, he shared the happy news the couple had welcomed a baby son on July 20. He shared sweet snaps from their home as they have been wrapped up in their love bubble. One Kiss hitmaker Calvin shared the very first picture of his newborn son and announced the beautifully unique name the couple have chose for their first-born child. Alongside an adorable photo of the couple's newborn baby cuddling into his dad's chest, Calvin wrote: "20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here! My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah." In the collection of photos Calvin shared announcing the birth of Micah, it was revealed that Vick had a water birth as she was seen in a blue birthing pool surrounded by candles. The Scottish DJ's Instagram post also featured a 'jump scare' as he posted a picture of Vick's placenta before going on to post more pictures of how the couple preserved it. This technique involves steaming, dehydrating, and grinding the placenta into capsules for consumption. Calvin and Vick chose to keep their pregnancy under wraps for as long as possible before finally announcing the happy news back in late May. Vick broke the news to her fans while finishing her last BBC Radio 1 show before heading on maternity. She said: "I should say that this is my final week. "I wanted to share that with you because we've had such a lovely time over the last few weeks. That time is coming to an end for a bit because I'm going on maternity leave next week." Former Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing piped in "You're an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you're just going to be an amazing mum." Vick then went on to share why she didn't formally announced she was expecting a baby. She explained: "This is not an announcement, by the way. People keep saying are you going to announce, are you going to announce? And I'm like, I'm not the King. I do not see the point, it's not for me. I'll be honest, I struggle with anything that's personal or private. "I will tell you a story about eating a kebab out of a bin, that's one thing. But there's a line and so I've never been that big on sharing. Particularly because I've just been enjoying this privately and quietly." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

BREAKING: Calvin Harris suffers heartbreak as pet 'murdered by idiot neighbour's dog'
Calvin Harris has shared his outrage following the death of his beloved pet as he claimed they were "murdered" by his neighbours. The DJ, who recently welcomed his first child, shared a photo of him holding Smokey as he shared the sad news. He paid tribute to the cockerel alongside a snap of him topless in his large garden. Calvin wrote: "RIP Smokey we love you. Raised this lad from chick to a majestic cockerel." The music star fumed: "Murdered by the idiot neighbours grimey dog. Absolutely gutted." It comes just a week after Calvin revealed he has welcomed his first child with Vick Hope. Last week, he shared the happy news the couple had welcomed a baby son on July 20. He shared sweet snaps from their home as they have been wrapped up in their love bubble. One Kiss hitmaker Calvin shared the very first picture of his newborn son and announced the beautifully unique name the couple have chose for their first-born child.

In the collection of photos Calvin shared announcing the birth of Micah, it was revealed that Vick had a water birth as she was seen in a blue birthing pool surrounded by candles. The new mum gave birth to her son outside on a balcony, and with an incredible view in front of her as greenery and trees surrounded them. One sweet picture showed Calvin kneeling down beside his partner seemingly just seconds after Micah was born. The Scottish DJ's Instagram post also featured a 'jump scare' as he posted a picture of Vick's placenta before going on to post more pictures of how the couple preserved it.

"So, yeah, but you know, it feels good. It feels good. I like, I like the age. I always said that once I get past 50, I can't see me DJing, man.' However the producer added that he isn't ditching the industry completely and opened up about future projects. He said: "I think I prefer to be, like, in the studio making tunes. But maybe I'll just make someone else's tunes, do you know what I mean? "Like a ghost producer sort of thing or mix down for people. I will do that when I get a bit older. I think that is where the majority of my talent lies, is making something sound good. "So, I would like to make other people's records sound good.' "We love you so much Micah". Fans flocked to the comments to offer their congratulations to the beaming parents. One person said: "Congratulations!! An angel boy". Another added: "Big congratulations legend!"
