We are excited to be working with Artillery CIC and many other local partners on another Reuse and Repair Fair taking place on Saturday 14 March 2026 (1pm to 5pm) at Handsworth Primary School, E4 9PJ. The Fair will be packed with a series of live demos and workshops themed around the repair, reuse and repurpose of everyday household items, from clothes and furniture, to electricals and bikes. Some activities you will find include:

Free repair services: learn how to repair clothing, household electronics, toys, furniture, and moreinteractive

Workshops: participate in sessions that provide practical repair skills and creative upcycling ideas

Local sustainability champions: meet experts and community organisations dedicated to reducing waste, lowering carbon emissions, and saving money.

The Reuse and Repair Fairs are commissioned by Waltham Forest Council, produced by Artillery CIC with project partners: Forest Recycling Project, Forest Fixers, and Leytonstone Toy Library, in collaboration with local businesses and community initiatives.
