Do you have something that needs fixing? Prefer to mend it than throw it away?

Then look no further than The Repair Café at Hitchin Hackspace which returns next month.

In collaboration with Plastic Free Hitchin, the next event will be held on Saturday 13 July at Hitchin Hackspace.

The Repair Café is run entirely by volunteers and enables members of the public to bring their damaged items for volunteers to give them a new lease of life, preventing thousands of repairable household items from going to landfill every year.

Locals are invited to book a repair online from 21 June to secure a repair slot with one of the repiar experts – you can even enjoy a cuppa and a cake whilst you wait!

You can bring the following to the Repair Café: electrical appliances, clothing, furniture, crockery, housewares, bicycles, toys etc. Anything that's broken (and which you can manage to carry on your own to the Repair Café) is welcome and has a good chance of getting properly repaired.

Booking is essential.

You can request a booking form by email at: [email protected]
