This September, Centrala is launching Repair Café to encourage people to repair, reuse and rethink the way we care for our clothes.

Repair Café begins on Wednesday 2 September 2026, with free weekly drop-in sessions every Wednesday from 12pm to 5pm at Centrala. The café offers free access to sewing machines and other repair tools, with support and supervision from our staff. Alongside this, we’ll also be running a programme of monthly artist-led upcycling workshops, exploring creative ways to transform a variety of everyday materials into something new. More information about each workshop will be shared throughout the year.

Whether you’re looking to repair a favourite jumper, learn a new skill, or simply discover how small changes can make a big difference, we’d love to welcome you to the launch and to Repair Café. Bring along your own clothing to repair!

We're heading into September with a bang thanks to the return of Dearthworms ! "Jagged yet wonky post-punk rooted in the weird and wormy folklore of North East England", according to bandcamp, the 5 piece post-punk / wonk rock band from Sheffield are revered for their intense live sets, and were longlisted by Music Venues Trust for their ‘must see’ acts in 2025.

Support comes from Knorke, using angular guitars and uneven time signatures to share song about peat bog mummies, stolen memories, and gay s*x, and Scrap Scrap, an emerging local artist who blends dreamlike cassette recordings with eloquent guitar lines.

Show your support for the local scene and pick up your tickets over on the Centrala website!
