With the Australian Celtic Festival kicking off this weekend, locals and visitors alike are on the lookout for the perfect Celtic-inspired outfit. For those wanting to dress the part while supporting a good cause, two Glen Innes non-profits are offering a treasure trove of tartan at budget-friendly prices.
Out the Back Treasures, located behind Oasis Church at 70 Grey Street (opposite TAFE), is opening its doors today, Friday 2 May 2025, from 9am to 3pm. The shop boasts “ACRES of Tartans….Kilts, Skirts, Trousers, Caps, Scarves, Wraps, Jackets,” making it a one-stop shop for festival-goers wanting to embrace Celtic style.
Meanwhile, The Opportunity Shop at 179 Lang Street has curated a dedicated rack of tartan and Celtic-inspired clothing and accessories, just in time for the festivities. Visitors are also encouraged to explore their beautifully arranged Celtic display, designed by local creative Alison Lardner-Burke.
With proceeds from both shops supporting community initiatives, shoppers can feel good knowing their purchases contribute to local non-profit work. Whether you’re after a full kilt ensemble or a simple accessory to show your Celtic spirit, these op shops offer a unique blend of style and purpose.
