10:00-13:00
Drop in anytime between 10am and 1pm and give your tired, torn or temperamental items a new lease of life. Every fix keeps something out of landfill, strengthens local know-how, and brings neighbours together.
ℹ️ WHAT WE USUALLY OFFER:
Textile repairs: Zips (bring your own if a replacement is needed), buttons (please bring your own), simple alterations, darning and creative mends.
Jewellery repairs: Simple repairs to necklaces, bracelets etc.
All repairs are dependent on volunteer availability. If you’re unsure whether to bring something, please email us at least 48 hours before and we’ll check: [email protected]
📝 A FEW NOTES:
We’re a community repair space, not a professional service, so very complex or specialist items may be better handled elsewhere.
Please stay while we work on your item. The Repair Cafe is about learning, connection and shared skills.
All our repairers are volunteers and we will ask you to read and sign a disclaimer before we undertake your repair.
Donations are welcome but never expected.
Cake and hot drinks are always available at the Community Cafe to keep spirits high.
🙋 WANT TO VOLUNTEER?
We’d love more helpers, whether you mend things or simply enjoy welcoming people. No professional qualifications needed, just willing hands and a friendly heart.
