Description

Abbey People are teaming up with Cambridge Carbon Footprint and the Cambridgeshire Repair Cafe Network to bring the first Repair Cafe to the Abbey ward in Cambridge.

Our team of local repairers will be on hand in East Barnwell Community Centre on Saturday 25th February from 1-4pm.

Our experienced local repairers will be happy to take a look at your broken:

  • Small electrical and electronic items such as blenders, coffee machines and laptops
  • Bikes
  • Clothes and other textiles
  • Jewellery

To book your items in for repair please fill in the booking form here 

There will also be a limited number of walk in slots on the day, and plenty of tea, coffee and cakes on sale to keep you comfortable while you wait.

Our repairers volunteer their time and repairs are free although we welcome donations to help us to grow our network.

About the group

Cambridgeshire Repair Cafe Network

Repair Cafes are distinct from Restart Parties, but there is considerable overlap, and much to be gained from sharing information.  They are co-ordinated from the Netherlands (http://repaircafe.org), and are not in competition with Restart Parties (there's more than enough to fix for us both!)

Repair Cafes tend to be less hi-tech than Restart Parties, though we will tackle computers, laptops, tablets and phones when requested.  Repairs are always free, and a cafe (which charges modest prices) is associated with the event, to cater for those who are waiting to be seen.
