If you have items that need mending bring them along to our Repair Café. You can learn a little about your broken item while a volunteer repairer assesses it and, where possible, does a fix while you watch how it’s done!

Items that can be repaired are: bicycles, textiles, clothes, all types of toys, small appliances, small electrical items including phones, and general repairs to broken items.

Booking will open 1 month before the event date.

Eversden Repair Cafe

We held our first repair café in 2019: https://www.eversdenvillagehall.uk/eversdens-first-repair-cafe/

The aim of our group is to reduce waste, and help our local community. Funds raised are used to maintain our village hall e.g. the heating needs upgrading.

Restart Party Do’s and Don’ts

DO

  • Check if your device is still within warranty, you may be eligible for a free repair, replacement or a refund. (Which? helps in the UK).
  • Take responsibility for your device and your data. Our volunteers are here to help you learn to fix your gadget, not to provide a free repair service. Get involved!
  • Backup your data. We can’t be responsible for your cat pics, so please back up your device before you come. (Of course you already do this once a month, right?)
  • Charge up your device and bring all leads.
  • Get in touch with organisers if you have any questions about whether a fix is possible.

DON’T

  • Assume repairs will be successful. We help fix over half of devices at our events. Even if your repair is unsuccessful, you will learn about your device and why it failed.
  • Expect us to have spare parts. But we can help you source them. Often people visit twice: first we’ll help diagnose the fault, then you source the spare part, and on your return we’ll help you do a replacement.
  • Attempt a mobile screen repair just to save money. DIY mobile screen repair is a learning opportunity first and foremost. Please see our advice page first.
  • Bring a microwave.
