Our next repair cafes will be held on 20th April and 8th June from 2.00 - 4.30pm at Danes Hill School. Bike safety checks and small repairs. Bring your old glasses to donate on 20th April.
Come and enjoy the cafe. Bring something from home in need of repair. Or volunteer now as a repairer or a welcomer and join the team. If you are bringing an item for repair, get to us before 4pm so that we have time to look at it for you.
Our great team of volunteers can offer free repairs to: small electricals, furniture, garden tools, clocks, clothes and textiles, toys etc. We also sometimes offer bike check-ups and small repairs or have visiting specialists with us.
When you arrive at the cafe you will be welcomed and asked to fill in a form about the item you have brought with you. You will then either be allocated to a free repairer or given a ticket and asked to wait until a suitable repairer becomes free. Whilst you wait, you can enjoy a cup of coffee and cake in our lovely pop-up cafe.
The idea is that you stay with the repairer to learn how to fix things. For example, if you bring something in need of sewing, you may find that you are set up with a needle and thread under the careful eye of one of our expert repairers.
Each session we will also have a skill-share with people on hand to teach different skills such as how to knit or crochet or use a hand-drill safely.
Each session we will make a special collection of different items for recycling. Please check what we are collecting before you come along.
You are also welcome just to come to enjoy the cafe without having to bring something for repair.
Only items that can be carried by one person will be accepted and no petrol-driven items should be brought for safety reasons. Please ensure that items are clean.
