Typical repairs include; basic bicycle maintenance, electrical appliance repair, computing assistance, sewing, ornament repair, and woodworking; though we will have a look at most things, except Microwaves as they are too dangerous.

More about Pibwrlwyd

Dyfed, Wales

Pibwrlwyd sits quietly in Dyfed where the rain doesn't seem to mind a chat with the pavement. Without any big venues on the list yet, we're still finding ways to keep things lively for locals who know their way around a damp afternoon. It's a small town that punches well above its weight when it comes to community spirit. We're keeping an eye out for pop-up markets and local gatherings that might just spring up without much notice. If you've got a free hour on a Tuesday, there's usually someone nearby with a story or a project worth hearing. Near Here is here to make sure you never miss the quiet magic of this corner of Wales.
