Household items fixed for free, second Saturday each month. Skilled and experienced volunteer repairers and home baked cakes. More on Facebook, Insta & BlueSky.penrithrepaircafe.org.uk Old Fire Station, PenrithJoined August 2022
It's #GreatBigGreenWeek and we're taking part this Saturday with our monthly repair cafe. Bring your broken household items to be fixed for free by our talented volunteers.
Broken radio, hi-fi or wireless?! Our awesome repairers can turn their hand to them and get them singing again!
We're back this Saturday, 14th June from 10am-1pm.
Charles did a great job repairing this standard lamp back in April! If you can carry it, we'll try and fix it! Our brilliant repairers will be back this Saturday, 14th June 10am-1pm.
Free entry, free repairs and free - and delicious! - home make cake, but donations appreciated.
We love it when our visitors get involved! Our repairer Cecilia shared her equipment and skills with this lady to help her repair her jacket! Our textile team will be back on Saturday - what will you bring to repair?! Clothes, soft toys, soft furnishings and more!
The talented Penrith Repair Cafe volunteers are back this Saturday! They'll be ready to fix your broken household items - ripped clothes, holey teddy bears, electricals, garden tools and more! Open from 10am - 1pm. Free entry, repairs and refreshments, but donations appreciated.
Sorry to say that today's Repair Cafe is cancelled as the space we use is unavailable, and despite our best efforts we were unable to find an alternative location.
We'll be raring to repair again on Saturday 14 June at 10am.
This time next week our awesome repairers will be arriving and getting ready to fix and fettle your household items!
All repairs and refreshments are free, but donations appreciated.
Not a great photo, but the owner of these jeans was delighted to have them wearable again - we put a patch over a hole that was appearing.

Thanks to @WandFCouncil for their support - check out the banner they've put up for us at Flusco! How many of those items could be back in use with a simple repair - bring them to us and we'll find out!
Robin bought her dragon Cinder to be fixed - he was definately our cutest repair on Saturday! The stitching on his leg was coming undone - Robin picked which colour cotton she liked and Jane did a great repair job on him! 🐲🧵

That's it, we're all set up for tomorrow's Repair Cafe!
We can fix electrics, clothes + textiles, clocks, ornaments, small wooden items and more!
Cakes tomorrow include:
🫚 Ginger Flapjack
🍏 Apple Cake
🍋 Lemon Drizzle
🥥 Coconut Cake
🧀 Cheese Scones
... and more! 🍰
This month, our talented team of repairers can take a look at a huge range of your household items!
🔌 Electricals
👖 Clothes, soft furnishings, textiles
🧸 Toys
🚲 Bikes
🪑 Small wooden items
🕰️ Clocks
🧑🏻🌾 Garden Tools
and more!
The talented textile team will be ready to sew, stitch, darn and patch your clothes, soft toys, cushions and more! They'll be at their repair desks this Saturday from 10am - 1pm. The great news is, there's so many on the team, it keeps the queue short!
You can find us by turning off Bridge Lane, keep going to the T junction, turn left, then left again after the conifer trees, then immediate left into the carpark. Entrance is right in the corner as shown.
Plenty more parking nearby if the car park's busy!
Come in number 14! 😟
Number 14 escaped from the repair cafe in November - we think someone's probably mistakenly taken it home with them! If it's you, please could you return it - either bring it this Saturday or pop it in an envelope and leave it on the step. Thanks! 🤞🏻
A week today our fab fixers will be unpacking their tools ready to take a look at your household items that need repairing!
#repaircafe#repairshop#Penrith#Cumbria
When you visit us to get your broken items repaired, we'll ask you to fill in a short form about you and your item, and we'll give you one of these numbers so we know where you are in the queue! Remember to hand it back in when you leave!
