Sidmouth Repair Café, held at St Francis Church Hall, saw volunteers fix everything from metal detectors to bicycles during its final event of 2025. Jenny, a volunteer, said: "The last 2025 Repair Café was our busiest of the year with 60 items coming through the door with 43 visitors. "We had 23 volunteers, and although low on electricians, Santa sent 2 new volunteers. Jenny said he had also represented the café at the Vision Group for Sidmouth's Sustainable Sidmouth Champions Awards and the Eco Hub events this year. The first Sidmouth Repair Café of 2026 will take place on Saturday, January 31, from 10am to 1pm at St Francis Church Hall on Woolbrook Road.
