What is a Repair Cafe you might ask?

Repair Cafés are free meeting places and they’re all about repairing things together. You’ll find expert volunteers with repair skills in all kinds of fields who will help repair your items (and teach you how to!)

Visitors bring their broken items from home. Together with the specialists they start making their repairs in the Café. If you have nothing to repair, you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, or lend a hand with someone else’s repair job.

Please note, depending on the waitlist we will take the last items at around 1.15 pm. The Repair Cafe works on donations, you can donate before, during, or after the cafe if you're able to.
