Repair and Reuse Day

You can also drop off unwanted textiles, small electricals and bicycles that are beyond repair and we will recycle them. 

Refreshments and children's activities will be available too. 

Reduce. Reuse. Repair. Recycle. Repeat.

Friends of the Earth

Bring along 1 small broken (or slow) electrical item and Friends of the Earth will try to help you fix them for free.

Dr Bike

Get a free basic bike repair. We will check your bike, give you advice, make minor adjustments and fit some basic replacement parts if we have them.

While your bike is being fixed, why not have a go on the smoothie bike to make your own smoothie?
