Swap meet of the Handball Club of Bannalec

The swap meet of the Handball Club of Bannalec, a May 1st event

Each year, on May 1st, the Handball Club of Bannalec (HBC Bannalec) opens the doors of the Salle Jean-Moulin, Place Emmanuel Robin in Bannalec (29380), for its traditional swap meet. This popular sporting event brings together about forty exhibitors who offer clothes, toys, books, dishes, and all sorts of items in this covered hall in the town center.

An event to benefit local sports

The swap meet is one of the main fundraising activities of the Handball Club of Bannalec, a sports club rooted in the community life of this town in inland Finistère. The proceeds from admission and stall rentals help finance sports equipment, team travel, and activities for young players. By participating in this event, visitors directly support local amateur sports.
