Festive fixes and cherished items needed for The Repair Shop Christmas Special

Do you have a cherished item or much-loved family heirloom in need of restoration this Christmas?

Jay Blades and the team of experts at The Repair Shop are getting ready to perform some festive magic in the Christmas edition.

They are looking for people from Wrexham who have objects of historical or social interest in need of repair with a festive feel to them.

The Repair Shop’s presenter, Jay Blades, said: “We are looking for items that make us remember Christmas’s of yester-year.

“It can be absolutely anything, the items don’t have to be antique, but it must mean something to you and have a sentimental value which a repair would make a difference.

“The team here are incredible, and we have experts in pretty much every craft so hopefully we have the solution for any fix!”

Ceramics expert, Kirsten Ramsay said: “This is our fourth Christmas Repair Shop and they are some of my favourite episodes – there’s always a magic about the barn but there’s something about Christmas that makes The Repair Shop even more magical.

“We’d love to try and add that little bit of magic to your Christmas so do get in touch with your suggestions.”

The experts are currently filming the next series rescuing and restoring items their owners’ thought were beyond saving, transforming priceless pieces of family history and bringing loved, but broken treasures back to life.

The next series of The Repair Shop is due to transmit later in the autumn.
