Everyone is welcome to this free event. There is only a small car park so best to park nearby or save emissions by walking or cycling.
The Deans Repair Cafe at the Ovingdean Green Fair
Our team of volunteers will be available to sew up holes and hems, examine and hopefully fix broken electrical items, IT devices (not Macs), anything that’s made of wood, plastic or metal - and give your bike a bit of loving too.
They will be bringing
Seamstresses
Electrician
Bike menders
Computers - not MACs
General wooden and plastic items
There’s no charge. Our goal is to save items which can be mended from going into landfill.
Please email Councillor Bridget Fishleigh with a description - and photo if possible - of your broken item so she can schedule you in and the team have an advance think. bridget@bridgetbythesea.com
