Kettering Repair Cafe

28/05/2026

This is brilliant! If you are organising anything in Kettering, make sure you are registered for the new Love Kettering website - a one stop for everything happening in our lovely town. Free listings available right now to get started! 👏🩷

The Love Kettering Hub is here - and it’s built for all of us.

Created in partnership with Kettering Town Council, it’s designed to make it as easy as possible for local residents to find things to do, discover local businesses and support their community. Because people already want to do that. They’re just tired of trawling through Facebook groups and Google to make it happen.

Together we can change that. Get your organisation listed, join the community and let’s make Kettering easier to love than ever before.

Register before 1st June and get your first three months completely free.

Thank you to the 50+ people who attended the Kettering Repair Cafe this weekend! The atmosphere was incredible with so many new people coming to find out more and to offer their help.

Our amazing volunteer fixers were able to fix 32 items at the event, with others leaving with advice or parts to purchase for a future fix. Even if an item wasn’t able to be fully fixed on the day, it’s still beneficial to have tried before replacing or throwing it away.

The next Kettering Repair Cafe will be held on Saturday May 16th. Don’t throw it, fix it!
