By Rothbury CAN, subgroup Coquetdale Repair Café
Coquetdale Repair Café combines fun & learning with reducing waste. Have your broken items repaired or learn to repair them yourself, with the help of friendly volunteers. Tea and cakes provided!
Coquetdale Repair Café in Rothbury is a great opportunity for the local community to help save the planet, meet people, enjoy a chat with tea and cake, and learn new skills in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. You can bring items such as clothes, knitwear and fabrics, toys including your pets' toys, small electricals and furniture, bikes with punctures, etc. Volunteers will be on hand to repair items and teach new repair skills to those interested. Local businesses will be involved and given the chance to meet new customers. The café will be held every 6-8 weeks in the Jubilee Hall in the centre of Rothbury.
