The event, at Biggin Hall, Biggin Street, was a partnership between voluntary environmental group Transition Dover, Future Foundry and Dover Big Local.

It was to encourage people to cut down on the waste caused by disposing of items when they are thought to be too expensive or difficult to repair.

n BLOB: The next Repair Café is again at Biggin Hall from 6.30pm to 8.30pm on Tuesday, March 27.
