Repair Café

About

A chance to have your broken household items repaired by volunteers – and stop them going to landfill. A Repair Café is a pop-up event that brings people together to learn how to repair damaged items.

Bring your broken items such as clothing, electrical items, or small items of furniture. As part of the Repair Café ethos, you will be encouraged to get involved in the repairs to try and give you the confidence to start your own repairs.

When you book you will be asked to select a free ticket with a repair type and a time. This is to help us manage numbers in the venue and match your repair with the repairers we have available. Please book a free ticket for each item you are bringing. If a repair type is shown as "Unavailable" it means we don't have repairers with the relevant skills/equipment for a given session.

A quick guide to repair types:

General or Electrical – Repair of household appliances, power tools, toys, lamps and other simple electrics as well as crockery

Electronics – Repair of HiFi, games consoles, DAB radios and other electronics items

Textile – Repair of clothing, curtains, fabric

Computer, Tablet and Phone – Computer, phones, tablet repair, help and advice

Please note that there are some things that we cannot repair for various reasons. These include:

Microwave ovens
