We are excited to announce that we have been busy planning a new Repair Cafe for Whitstable, Herne Bay and surrounding villages, aligned with the international Repair Cafe organisation, www.repaircafe.org\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019re now ready to announce our launch on Saturday November 8th 2025<\/b>, at the Whitstable Umbrella Centre, Oxford St CT5 1DD and are inviting any interested people to come along on, with or without an item to repair, to have a chat and find out how it all works.<\/p>\n

We are urgently looking for repairers<\/b> who can help us in this venture. If you have, or know of anyone who has, the skills and knowledge to repair broken items and can spare a few hours once a month please get in touch.<\/p>\n

We plan to run the Repair Cafe on the second Saturday of every month, excluding December and August, from 10am – 1pm.<\/p>\n

We understand that repairers may not be able to come every month and we will post which repairers will be available, a couple of days before each event here, and on our facebook page.<\/p>\n

We look forward to your support for this project and to seeing you at our launch<\/p>\n
