Has your Christmas present broken already? Maybe Repair Café can help!

Transition Town Kingston's Repair Café will be back in Kingston Library's community room on the first Saturday morning of the month, helping residents to save money and keep repairable stuff out of the waste system. Visitors can bring all sorts of broken items to fix on the spot with the help of our skilful volunteer repairers and refreshments while you wait, watch and learn.

During the winter months, even the most hardy and adventurous off-road riders can sometimes need a little extra encouragement to get out and pedal!

Whether that be the promise of tasty snacks in a warm shop at the end of a muddy spin round the local trails, or swapping adventure tales with the rider next to you to take your mind off your numb fingers, only to end up making plans to ride the Sandstone Way together in 2025…Alpkit have got you covered with their Sonder Winter Gravel Series!

Each ride will start from one of Alpkit's stores and will be a self-supported ride leaving the store at 10AM, lasting roughly 3-5 hours depending on your speed.

Thank you again to our sponsors Nix Academy and John Lewis Kingston.
