The Repair Shop

At Christmas 2024

It’s festive season at The Repair Shop, and this year the team of experts are back spreading joy and creating more Christmas magic with their festive fixes.\n\nFirst through the barn doors are two giant fibre-glass puffins that were gifted to a very special children’s bookshop. The puffins have welcomed generations of children and been at the centre of the bookshop’s Christmas celebrations for over 50 years. Dominic Chinea and Brenton West have been tasked with returning these beloved birds back to the bookshop in time for Christmas so that they can continue to bring joy to the children who love and cherish them.\n\nWill Kirk, Kirsten Ramsey, Steve Fletcher and Mark Stuckey are facing their own festive challenge of reviving an enchanting miniature Christmas village that lights up a family home, where over 30 foster children have been looked after. This ever-expanding village is now a time capsule of Christmas memories for a blended family.\n\nIn a festive collaboration with BBC One’s The One Show, Roman Kemp brings the Teddy Bear Ladies, Amanda Middleditch and Julie Tatchell, a special bear, a Christmas gift for a four-year-old boy, after he cycled 100 miles to raise money for the hospital that cared for his sick grandad.\n\nMeanwhile, clever-with-leather Suzie Fletcher is restoring a donkey saddle that’s been handed down through four generations of farmers. This saddle has been used by its owner since he was seven to ride his donkey into town, continuing the family tradition of delivering presents and spreading happiness to his local community in Northern Ireland. \n\nFinally, a magic lantern projector that’s over 100 years old and which has been at the centre of a family’s Christmas Eve tradition telling the story of ‘Twas the Night before Christmas. The three sisters bringing it to the barn hope that electrical whizz Mark Stuckey along with Pete Woods and camera specialist extraordinaire Pierro Pozella can restore the projector and with it the childhood wonder and memories it holds.
