Farnham Repair Cafe (FRC) is back this Saturday, from 10am to 1pm, at The Spire Church on South Street, Farnham.

FRC is a free event that brings together skilled volunteers and people who have items in need of repair.

The event offers six repair stations for electrical, laptops, mechanicals, bikes, furniture and clothing. 

Visitors are encouraged to take along up to three products to be repaired. However, only one item will be examined per person at a time.

The FRC volunteers aim to help fix products where possible, but the event does not accept petrol-driven products, industrial devices, three-phase power tools, mobile phones or alteration of clothing.

If you have a laptop, bike or furniture to be repaired, email Ros on [email protected] in advance. 

In addition, if you have an item that is larger than hand luggage or unusual, email Ros to enable FRC to assess the feasibility of repair.

Farnham Repair Café is a UK registered charity, number 1172613.
