In collaboration with Sewing Café Lancaster, Sunflower Cycles, Control Alt Repeat, Lancaster and Morecambe Repair Cafe and Lancaster and Morecambe Makers, there will be a Repairathon at Lancaster Makerspace and Bayshare on Tue 11 Aug 2026 from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Experts can help to fix textiles, clothing, bicycles, ebikes, electricals, electronics, computers, mobile devices and wooden furniture. They will probably have a go with other things, but you might benefit from checking with them first, especially if your item is bulky, to avoid disappointment!

You don't need to pre-book; just turn up on the day. The event is free, but donations are encouraged, to help pay for the venue, equipment and materials.

A relaxed, inclusive club for ages 7–15 to read, draw and explore comics, make friends, and enjoy a safe creative space.

There’s no pressure, no strict timetable, and no “right” way to take part. Each session is designed to be flexible, letting children choose what they feel like doing on the day – whether that’s curling up with a comic, trying out a new one, sketching characters, building stories, or dipping into artist-led tutorials.
