Throw it away? No way!
Do you have something that needs fixing? Prefer to mend it than throw it away?
You're invited to pop in with your broken things and let our experts take a look – you can even enjoy a cuppa and a cake whilst you wait – either inside, or in our lovely garden.
We ask for a voluntary donation in exchange for your repair, and any refreshments. No need to book!
For more information see our Repair Café page.
