Fix your broken items at Twickenham Repair Café

On Saturday 15 June, residents are invited to repair and extend the lives of their broken and old items for free.

Hosted by local group Twickenham Repair Café, the monthly event offers free repairs to items such as iPads, clocks, lawn mowers, coffee machines, bikes and even sharpen garden shears.

• Time: 10.30am to 12.45pm
• Location: St Margarets Church Hall, 130 St Margarets Road, Twickenham, TW1 1RL
