The Repair Cafe at Lambs Lane Primary School Spencers Wood was started in May 2022 (originally based at the village hall). We run every third Sunday of the month. As we grew in popularity we needed more space and re-located to Lambs Lane Primary School.

We look forward to welcoming you with your broken household items.
