Do you have something in your home that you’re sure can be fixed or repaired, if only you knew how?

Something that has great sentimental value but needs some TLC to restore it to its former glory?
Something you have started to fix but got stuck?
Something you'd love to fix if you had the right tools?

These events link you to local volunteer repair enthusiasts, who will do their best to help you repair your item. If they can’t fix it, they will offer advice.

At the repair café volunteers will have a range of skills, from much loved toys, to toasters, bikes to bric a brac, furniture to favourite ornaments, clocks and clothes and much, much more! Skills will vary, depending on which volunteers are available. If you'd like advice about the item you'd like to bring in please register and leave a message about your item on the registration page.

The event will run from 1-4pm. On arrival you will be given an estimated wait time. When a suitable repairer becomes available you can talk to them, and in the meantime you can have a cuppa, connect with community, and increase your knowledge and skills by observing the repairs taking place. 

Repairs will be conducted at tables. Please note we may not be able to accomodate large items. However you can bring photos and seek advice for items that can't be brought in.

We will have a range of repairers with various skills including:

- Small appliances and electronics*
- Textiles - darning, sewing, crochet and knitting

-Woodwork
- General repair skills and knowledge
- Costume Jewellery
- Bikes make adjustments for stretched cables to get gears and brakes working again, fix punctured tyres etc.
