Buntingford Repair Cafe and Men’s Shed Group

As part of the new Buntingford Community Project two new projects have been set up:

Men’s Shed Group

A new Men’s Shed Group has started in Buntingford which meets every Tuesday from 2pm to 4pm at the Manor House. The aims of a Men’s Shed are to encourage people (not just men) to come together to make, repair and repurpose, supporting projects in the local community. The group has only been going for a few weeks and already has 12 members. The plan is to get together weekly to discuss plans, come up with project ideas whilst trying to find a suitable shed space in or near Buntingford. For more details contact Phil Ricketts email: or phone 07896 860769

Buntingford Repair Cafe

Over the past couple of months a call has gone out for volunteers interested in joining the new repair café starting in Buntingford. There is now enough volunteers with a range of repair skills to enable the first Repair Café to be held at the Seth Ward Community Centre in Buntingford on 27th September from 2pm to 5pm. Items accepted for repair include electrical and battery items, general items including small furniture and toys, upholstery and clothing repairs, bike repairs and maintenance, computer and laptop IT assistance and simple repairs and tool and knife sharpening.

There will also be a café serving tea, coffee and homemade cake with proceeds going towards hall hire and other running costs.

Items needing repair need to be booked in in advance. Will have a dedicated Ticket Tailor webpage set up for each repair café, until that is up and running repair bookings can be done by emailing Madela Baddock at
