September Repair Cafe

Saturday 17th October, 1:30pm – 4pm

Reyburn Art Studio, 28 Reyburn House Lane, Townbasin

At our monthly events volunteers donate their time to help you repair your items.

If you know the specific part needed to repair your item, we ask that you bring it along. Please ensure you bring all the parts (plugs etc) and clean out crumbs and empty water before bringing your items in.

We’re happy to help you learn how to repair. We are not repair professionals, Repair Cafes are a community self-repair space. Attending means that you take responsibility for your own item.

Repair skills available this month:
Sewing, knitwear, general repair, woodworking, electrical, sharpening, heavy duty sewing, teddy surgery

We will give most repairs a try, come in and talk to our repairers to see what they can do. Check out the Facebook event page to see which repair skills will be available each month.
