The much-loved Late Night Op Shopping will be back for its third year next Tuesday with select opportunity shops keeping their doors open from 4pm-7pm.

The op shops participating will be ADRA, Salvation Army Thrift Shop, Salvos Store, Vinnies, Lifeline and Anglican Belltower.

The event is held in conjunction with National Recycling Week and supported by the City of Mount Gambier.

Event coordinator and Anglican Belltower Op Shop manager Trudy-Anne Doyle said the event will likely see hundreds of people through the doors of the second-hand businesses.

“Both years the community have really supported it so this year there has been a little bit of a change-up in which op shops are involved,” she said.

“We just try to put something out maybe that’s a little bit special or a bit different just because you have got a different crowd coming in.

“I think last year it was not quite so busy as the first year but it was still pretty good.

“I hope the community will come out and support it again.”

Ms Doyle encourages people to group up with their friends and create their own scavenger hunt.

“Come up with silly things to see if people can find it or have a list of things your kids might like or your friends like and see if you can find those things and then give it to them,” she said.

“The vibe of Late-Night Op Shopping was that people were trying to go to them all and that it was a fun night.

“Most of the op shops, the money stays local and the ones that are part of more of a network, they do good things with that money.”

There will be a mini market this Saturday at the Anglican Belltower Op Shop prior to the Late Night Op Shopping from 8.30am-12.30pm with items from St Thomas Anglican Church in Port MacDonnell up for sale including a bishop’s chair and two prayer desks.
