Runcorn Repair Cafe – Halloween & Recycling Fun
Our brand-new Repair Cafe starts this October at Hazlehurst Studios! A Repair Cafe is a community space where people bring broken items—like clothes, electronics, or furniture—and get help fixing them for free.
At this session, we’ll offer:
- PAT testing of your electrical equipment to keep your home safe
- October theme: Halloween Costume & Clothing Fixes – bring costumes or everyday clothes for textile repairs or tweaks
- Recycling monsters: create upcycled bags perfect for collecting soft plastics or blister packs for recycling
- Art, book & craft swap – pick up unwanted supplies from our collection
- Friendly advice on sustainability, creativity, and small ways to reduce waste
Why attend?
- Keep your electrical items safe and working longer
- Give your Halloween costumes, clothing, and everyday items a new lease of life
- Try your hand at upcycling and creative recycling projects
- Connect with fellow creatives in the community
Date & Time: Saturday 4th October, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Location: Hazlehurst Studios, 71 High Street, Runcorn, Cheshire, WA7 1AH
Tickets: Free – booking recommended to help us plan
Funded by: Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA) Zero Waste Community Fund
Additional info:
- All items brought for PAT testing or textile repairs should be in a safe and reasonably good condition
