We are staffed by volunteers with plenty of repair experience.  Members of the public are welcome to drop in with their broken items and we'll do our best to get those items working again.

Since we held our first event at the end of 2023 we have repaired trouser zips, missing buttons, clocks that won't run, radios that don't play, food mixers that don't start - and much more besides - especially bikes.

How it works

On arriving, bring your item to the Reception desk where we note the issue and allocate a suitably skilled repairer.  If you need to wait, take advantage of the free tea/coffee and biscuits.
 
When the repairer is ready for your item (often straight away) you sit with them to explain the problem and observe the repair process - helping if and where you can so that you learn some maintenance skills yourself.  Sadly we can't always make a successful repair but we have a lot more successes than failures.
