Join workshop manager Tom Philipson as he helps you to give your antique or well loved items a new lease of life.
The Farmer’s Arms repair shop will be open for appraisals, valuations and support to fix small items of furniture, broken ceramics, sculptural objects and / or tools.
Tom Philipson will be on hand to talk through your requirements and provide guidance on how to fix any problems. You can choose to stay and fix the item yourself with our team giving you the knowledge and skills needed, or leave with us for the item to be fixed by our team.
If our workshops take your fancy, but you’re not local to The Farmer’s Arms, we have accommodation so you can make a weekend out of your visit. The Farmer’s Barn is our self-catering hostel perfect for solo travellers and The Farmer’s Loft is our spacious six person apartment situated above the workshop.
