Timings
Doors open at 10.00am to 1pm.
Is there a cost?
The only charge made is for materials used and a request is made for a donation towards running costs and in support of local organisations in need.
Can I leave items at the church?
Items bought to the Repair Cafe for repair will either be repaired on the day or taken back to the main Workshop and returned the following month. All customers are phoned and informed when jobs are complete.
Items can be brought along when the WORKSHOP is open. Unfortunately, we do not have facilities to store items at the church.
What happens to the excess donations?
Downton Repair Cafe operate as a not for profit organisation.
Therefore, as a group of volunteers, they give away their funds to advertised local charities.
Where do I park?
We have a church car park to the rear of the church. We recommend that you use the footpath around the rear of the church and not South Lane. Please do not use the Goat Car Park.
