Bring your broken bikes, furniture or textiles on 22nd March and learn to fix them with our experts!

Do you have something at home that you have been meaning to fix? Join us at the Rediscovery Centre on the 22nd March where you can bring along your broken item and work together with our experts to help you repair it. There will be experts in textiles, furniture and bicycles.
