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. 'You might say, it Disney get better than that'
