The Mayor of Winchester will officially open the Repair Café Winchester on 10 June. Come along to the Community Centre from 10.30am to 12 noon.

Repair Cafés are free meeting places and they’re all about repairing things (together). In the place where a Repair Café is located, you’ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need. On clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys, et cetera. You’ll also find expert volunteers, with repair skills in all kinds of fields. All repairs must be booked in advance on the Repair Café website.

There’s always have plenty of homemade cake and the volunteers are on hand providing teas and coffees too. Everyone is welcome to pop in to enjoy the ambience and find out more about what goes on at Repair Café Winchester.
