Pendleside Repair Café
Sat 3 Oct at Barley Chapel - Mending, Making and Community Spirit
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the Repair Café over the past few months. Our last event was really well attended, and it was lovely to be back at Barley Chapel following their summer of renovation works.
We’ve now repaired over 50 items, including lamps, jumpers, coffee machines and garden tools – what a fantastic achievement! So, if you have something at home that’s broken, worn or in need of a little TLC, why not bring it along? Our wonderful team of volunteer repairers love a challenge and will do their best to give your treasured items a new lease of life.
The Repair Café is a free, friendly community event, bringing people together to help keep useful items out of landfill, enjoy a cuppa, have a good natter and, of course, indulge in a slice of cake!
We meet on the first Saturday of each month, from 10.30am to 1pm, at Barley Chapel.
Our next Repair Café is on Saturday, 3rd October at Barley Chapel. We’d love to see you there!
