Come visit the new Wivenhoe Repair Cafe 👩‍🔧👨‍🔧🧑‍🔧
The Repair Café is in the Station House, Station Road Wivenhoe 18:30-19:30 where the Library of Things is located.

We operate on the first Wednesday of the month beginning Wednesday 4th February. You’ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need on clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, crockery, small appliances, toys, etcetera. You’ll also find experienced Repair Cafe volunteers, with repair skills in all kinds of fields. 🛠️
Visitors bring their broken items from home. Together with the Repair Cafe specialists they start making their repairs in the Repair Café. It’s an ongoing learning process. ♻️
