2026-03-21 12:00 - 14:30 | Lorton St. Methodist Church Hall, Methodist Church, Lorton St, Cockermouth, Cumbria, CA13 9RH, United Kingdom
Unfortunately due to road works on Lorton street on the 21st of March, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to cancel this month’s repair café. Many of our repairers have heavy equipment and would not be able to attend without road access. We’re very sorry and hope to see everyone in April!
