CHAILEY REPAIR CAFÉ – IT’S SPRING!!!!

April and May are always busy months for us at the Repair Café, as you bring all the kit you’ve just got out of the shed ready for some sunshine! We’ll gladly take on broken garden furniture including parasols and loungers, as well as sorting out those lawnmowers and strimmers and sharpening your garden tools. We have been inundated with toasters and vacuum cleaners recently – but please give that toaster a good shake before bringing it in to us to dislodge all those crumbs first! And do check the filters on that vacuum – it’s amazing how many folks never clean or change them!! If you’ve lost the instructions, we’ll find a copy online for you.

Our bike repairers will be hard at work sorting out repairs for bikes big and small and all that will be alongside our usual electrical and clothing repairs. There’s a huge demand for our service nowadays, so please get there early and we’ll see you as soon as we can!

Chailey Repair Café is part of a world-wide movement where volunteer experts repair things free of charge – although a donation towards running costs is invited. Anyone can bring along broken items or clothing needing repair from home, and have a cuppa and a cake and then watch while your repairs is done in front of you..

You’ll find us at St Peter’s Church, Chailey on the A275 at Chailey Green on the second Saturday of each month (12 April, 10 May, 14 June and so on) between 1000hrs and 1300hrs where we have a full Café service including our legendary cakes!

Contact us at chaileyrc@gmail.com and we’ll see what we can do to help.

See you very soon!!
