Well, that was a first at Stowmarket Repair Cafe. A camel saddle, originating from Egypt, now used as a footstooL. Our clever repairers resolved the issues and another happy customer.

Our Repair Cafe operates the second Sunday of every month, the next one is 8th November 2026.

We had vacuum cleaners, toasters, kettles, food mixer, jewellery, sewing, clocks, garden tools, electrical and electronic items in for repair this month. No need to buy new, bring them for repair.

Put Sunday 8th November in your diary, 2-4pm

See you then.

The Restart Project is a charity whose work includes supporting community repair groups around the UK and campaigning for the Right to Repair. They are holding a Repair Cafe at Parliament in March, to encourage our legislators to make repairs more accessible and are asking us to email our MP to encourage him to attend. Please click below to find out more about it and a link to email Dr Peter Prinsley

We're calling for more support for reuse and repair. Check out the declaration and ask your MP to support it.
