Repair Café

If you need something repaired, we can fix it! Come with something to repair or a good appetite for some of our tasty cakes! We have amazingly skilled volunteers keen to pass on their skills and knowledge. We have skills in IT, electrical, needlecraft, woodwork, jewellery, clocks, bikes, teddy bears and general DIY. We will have a go at any repair and if we can’t fix it, we will give advice on how to get a repair. Come and see us! We welcome financial donations, but as a charity (Kirkby Lonsdale Community Cupboard), we make no charge for any repairs. It is through kind donations and bids for funding that we are able to run and help our community.

In conversation with… Nicola Moorby, Curator of Historic British Art, Tate

J.M.W. Turner’s lifelong engagement with the sea resulted in some of his most dramatic and iconic paintings. This talk provides an overview of his obsession with the ocean and, in particular, his evolving exploration of the concept of the Sublime. A fascinating blend of imagination and observation, his pictures of storms and shipwrecks reflected the anxieties and ambitions of maritime Britain, as well as a personal pursuit of atmosphere and empirical style. Central to Turner’s reputation as a modern master, they have become defining images of the Romantic era, as well as an imaginative point of departure for his creative legacy.
