Feilding Repair Cafe

Bev from Feilding

The first Feilding Repair CAFE for 2026 is on Saturday Feb 21 from 10am until noon. The last fix is taken at 11.45am.
We are a team of specialist volunteers who will assess and possibly mend your broken household and garden items. If you can carry or wheel it in we're willing to have a look and see what can be done. Items made of wood, metal, plastic, fabric, ceramic, paper are all considered - we also have a knife and tool sharpener and a jeweler available. You can find us at the Senior Hub 14 Bowen St Feilding .
