Repair Cafe Session – 21st October 2023

We offer a repair service for portable household items of a mechanical, electrical or ceramic nature, tool sharpening and simple sewing and clothing repairs. We can also advise on repair options for wooden furniture, providing it is hand-portable and you can transport it to Dinedor Village Hall yourself.

• To control the number of people arriving together outside the hall advance booking is essential. The first slot is from 10.00 to 10:30 and the last from 12 noon to 12:30pm.  We need to complete all repairs by 12:30, as we will need half an hour to clear and clean the hall.
• Hygiene.  Items should be cleaned as far as possible.  Clothing items must be washed or dry-cleaned before you bring them to us.
• Please bring your item to our reception desk in our main hall. We will then allocate it to the most appropriate repairer.
• There will be a small café operating in the hall.  You can wait here and enjoy refreshments if you wish or you may leave and we will contact you by phone when your item is ready for collection.  Provided the repairer also consents, you may sit with the repairer while the item is being examined and repaired.
• If you leave the hall please keep your mobile phone with you and switched on, as the repairer may need to speak to you about your item.  After repair, or if your item cannot be repaired, we will ‘phone you, so you can collect it from the hall.
• Items must be collected by 12.30pm as we need to clear up the hall by 1pm.
• South Hereford Repair Café does not charge a fee for either repairs or refreshments, but you can leave a donation towards our running costs which we will gratefully accept.

Before booking a slot we ask you to read our Terms and Conditions (Opens in a new tab). By clicking on the “BOOK YOUR SELECTED TIME” button you agree to abide by these Terms and Conditions. You also agree that we can store the data that you have submitted.

For each of the time slots below we can accept a maximum of 1 item per person (2 items for sharpening jobs).  To pick a time slot, select ‘1’ in the associated box.  You can only choose one time slot. Don’t forget to put a description of the item and the problem in the ‘Details of broken item’ box.
