The New Mills Repair Cafe was formed in 2019 when a small group of local residents – in collaboration with the New Mills Volunteer Centre, Visit New Mills and Transition New Mills – came together to co-create what soon became a regular fixture in the town’s calendar.
The repairers have fixed all sorts of things – kettles, watches, clothes, toys, small furniture, radios etc. – and prevented them from being thrown away, which is very gratifying.
As well as a place to get repairs, the Repair Café is a place to connect and have a chat about all things repairing and re-use. Many a problem has found its solution, and the knowledgeable and inventive team help to make the Cafe a success.
The Cafe takes place on the last Saturday of each month at the Volunteer Centre. There is no charge to attend, so bring something along or just pop in and say hello!
