BBC The Repair Shop issues major update as the experts leave the barn

The Repair Shop's experts are swapping the barn for the stage in a brand-new live tour, The Repair Shop Live: Secrets from The Barn, set to kick off early next year. This heartwarming show will offer fans an intimate look inside the workshop, featuring Jay Blades and experts Will Kirk and Steve Fletcher.

They'll be joined by special guests Kirsten Ramsay, Lucia Scalisi, Suzie Fletcher and The Teddy Bear Ladies, Julie Tatchell and Amanda Middleditch, throughout the tour. Fans will have the opportunity to spend an evening with their favourite TV experts, learning more about their experiences working together.

The experts will share anecdotes, memories, and stories from life inside the barn that promise to entertain and inspire.

The live tour begins in Newcastle on February 2, 2025, and will visit various locations including Swansea, Brighton, Bath and Nottingham, before concluding on March 24 in Sheffield. Tickets are now available from Ticketmaster, with all details available on the No Third Entertainments website.

Joanna Ball, Executive producer of The Repair Shop and managing director of Ricochet, has gushed with admiration for her team: "The Repair Shop experts are the most talented, hard-working and dedicated people I've ever had the privilege to work with, and they are also the best company. I'm so pleased to be able to take them out on tour around the country to give their fans an opportunity to experience some of the pleasure and camaraderie of the barn," reports the Express.

Meanwhile, Gareth Watson of Firefly Live expressed his excitement about the collaboration: "We're delighted to be working with Ricochet and the wonderful experts from The Repair Shop to bring some of the series' magic to fans from around the UK. This tour will give fans a glimpse into life at the barn and the experts skills and stories unlike ever seen before."
