A day of activities celebrating International Repair Day and Portsmouth100, with a Repair Cafe, recycling and swapping.
Circle Fest is on at Cascades Shopping Centre on Saturday 17 October, a day of activities celebrating International Repair Day and Portsmouth100. It's put on by Share, the local charity that works to reduce carbon, waste and raw material use through sharing, repairing and re-use.
The day centres on a Repair Café, where you can bring in things that have broken and get them fixed rather than binning them. There's also recycling and swapping on the go, so it's as much about what you take home as what you bring along. It's a practical way of marking International Repair Day, and it ties into Portsmouth100 too.
If you haven't come across them before, Share is a Portsmouth charity that runs a hub at 44 Cascades Shopping Centre. Inside you'll find a Library of Things with nearly 700 items to borrow, a Repair Café, and a Community Repair Corner. The whole thing is about keeping things in use and out of the landfill, and the charity received £135,000 in National Lottery funding over three years to help local people save money and cut carbon.
Every week we pick 🏆 the 5 best 🏆 things to do in Portsmouth and send them to your inbox. Just one weekly email, no spam.

Circle Fest takes that work and opens it up for the day. You'll find it at 44 Cascades Shopping Centre, Commercial Road, PO1 4RR, on Kingswell Path, on Saturday 17 October.
