Join us for a hands-on workshop where we’ll install a new bike repair station in front of our building to promote sustainable travel! This event is perfect for anyone interested in DIY projects, urban infrastructure, or learning practical construction skills—no experience needed!

🔧 What You’ll Learn & Do:

✅ Mixing & Pouring Concrete – Get hands-on experience preparing and setting a sturdy foundation.
✅ Making Things Secure – Learn how to safely anchor a bike repair station for long-term use.
✅ Basic Woodworking – Help build and install a protective roof to shield the station from the elements.

Since the concrete will need time to cure, we’ll invite volunteers back in 3 weeks for the final installation.

🌱 Why Join?

• Gain new skills in concrete work, carpentry, and urban sustainability.
• Support greener travel by helping maintain a free public resource for cyclists.
• Meet like-minded neighbors and contribute to a more bike-friendly community!

👷‍♂️ Tools & materials provided—just bring your enthusiasm.

🌧️ Rain Plan? If the rain is forecasted we may need to reschedule so please keep an eye on your email.

Tickets

Please book a ticket in advance as there is limited capacity. Suggested donation: £5-10

Tickets available on Eventbrite here.

Participation in our community-led events is often on a voluntary ‘by donation’ basis. This means that nobody is expected to make a payment if they cannot afford to do so. However, any donations received will be shared between the Centre and the facilitator, helping to make the events’ programme sustainable as well as to provide some reciprocity towards community facilitators’ time and skills offered.

Where a “suggested donation” is listed, this is just an indication of what the event might cost if it was ticketed – it is fine to donate less (or nothing at all). Donating is one way to show your appreciation for the value of the Salisbury Centre. Please consider ‘paying it forward’ by donating a bit extra if you can afford, helping to keep it possible for everyone to take part, regardless of their circumstances.

To donate:

bring cash on the evening, or

donate online on www.salisburycentre.org/donate (using “Bike Station” as REFERENCE).

pay with card at the front door, please add a reference (eg. Bike Station) using the pen icon top right on the pay-point screen

Let’s build something useful together—see you there! 🚴‍♂️💚
