The Marnhull Hub and Repair Café has gone from strength to strength since re-opening on May 22.


More than 20 repairs have been carried out on various items, including clocks, furniture and electrical appliances. Many knives, secateurs and shears have been brought in for sharpening. Countless teas, coffees and cakes have been served.

After a request for help in the BMV a few months ago, they are now able to repair electrical items – except for any toaster that is not Dualit model.

The Hub now operates from the village hall, every Saturday 10am-12, when items for recycling can be brought to the back of the hall.
Recycling is no longer available at the old location.

Sioban, who set up the hub two years ago, said: “Items that can be repaired not only save the owners money, but save the items from ending up as landfill! If you would like to volunteer in any way please get in touch.”

The hub will be at the Shaftesbury Fringe in the Guildhall (August 29 and 30, 10.30 -12.30). Go to marnhullhub.org.uk.
