Ventnor Exchange will host the first Repair Cafe of 2026 on Saturday 7th February.
The event runs from 10.30am and offers residents the chance to bring broken items for repair rather than throwing them away.
What to bring
Organisers welcome items including winter woolies, broken Christmas lights and favourite radios that need tuning up.
Visitors can book one of the available 30-minute repair slots via Ticket Tailor.
Booking advice
The Repair Cafe team encourages people to provide detailed information when booking their slot.
More detail on the booking form helps the team prepare the right tools and supplies for each repair job.
Growing repair movement
The organisers describe the initiative as part of a “repair revolution” and welcome anyone who shares their enthusiasm for fixing rather than discarding items.
They encourage people to spread word of the event and follow the Repair Cafe’s social media presence on Facebook, Mastodon and Bluesky for updates.
People can book slots through the Repair Cafe’s online booking system.
