Dawlish Fix Fest

Dawlish Fix Fest 18th March 2023

This is the 9th FixFest to be organised in Dawlish where anyone is invited to bring along something that is broken and needs fixing. Our volunteer specialists may be able to repair anything from IT and electrical goods to bike repairs, sewing and even welding if the item is portable and made of steel. Bring it along and we'll see what we can do. Why buy new when it could be repaired at a fraction of the cost? Not only is it environmentally friendly but it could also help you make your money go further.

We shall be open from 10.00 am to 1.00pm at the Manor House on Old Town Street (EX7 9AP) on Saturday 18th March.

No charge is made for any work but we do ask for a donation to reflect the item's increased value. All donations are in aid of the Friends of Dawlish Hospital who provide our Community Hospital with equipment and services. Recent purchases have been a Blood Fridge (£4000), a Floor Scrubber (£3500) and help with funding the salary of a Discharge Co-ordinator. The Hospital would not have been built had the Friends not provided all the internal fittings and equipment (like furniture and kitchen equipment) for the Hospital to function. There will be someone from the Friends in attendance if you would like to know more about what they do.'
