Repair Cafe 2025
The Repair Cafe is on the first Sunday of every month between 1pm – 3.30pm at The Link Building. This is your opportunity to work with our repairers to learn how to mend anything from clothing, lamps, toasters, kettles, smart phones and many other things! If you have nothing to repair but want to learn some new skills then come along and learn how to knit, sew, mend, crochet or almost anything else! It is fun, relaxing, social and makes you feel good to be looking after your things in this way. All welcome, just drop in. *Generally these are available each weekend but check out the latest Facebook Event to see which repairers are on for that weekend. And if you have a handy skill you’d like to volunteer then get in touch and turn up!
