Tattenhall Repair Café

If you've got a broken household appliance, item of clothing, or a piece of furniture that you can't fix, bring it along to Tattenhall Repair Café. The repair café is open on the last Sunday of every month, between 10am and 12noon, in the Barbour Institute, Tattenhall, Chester, CH3 9PX.

The repair café is run on a donations basis, to cover the cost of materials, but you don't have to give any money if you are not able to. The repairers will still be happy to help you out so that you don't have to buy a new item to replace your broken one.

The repair café is run by Transition Tattenhall. The volunteer repairers have a wide range of skill sets, so they can usually fix items like hoovers, a garden strimmer, clothing, and even paintings and sculptures. You can take along anything that needs to be repaired and they will do their best to fix it for you.

Even if the volunteers can't repair your item, you can still enjoy the café. You can get a hot drink and a cake while chatting with members of the community.

By taking your item to the repair café, you will save the cost of having to replace it. It also prevents the item ending up in landfill which is harmful for the environment. When a new appliance or piece of furniture is manufactured, it requires energy and materials that increase your carbon footprint.

With the help of Tattenhall Repair Café, you can repair and reuse items that would otherwise have been thrown away, saving you money and helping the environment.
