Repair Cafe

  • Makers Mews The Mews, Harford Road Ivybridge, England, PL21 0AS United Kingdom (map)

We meet the final Saturday of each month, bringing together skilled volunteers, tea, cake + you guys with your broken thingamabobs.

Our aim is to save salvageable items headed for landfill, whilst sharing + learning skills + meeting new people in our community.

How it works:

1. Bring your broken doodad, along with any known parts needed to fix it (For example, to replace a broken zip, we’ll need an alternative zip - we don’t have supplies).

2. In tandem with one of our helpful hosts, fill in a registration form to log your Repair.

3. Grab a cuppa, cake + convo, whilst you wait…

4. Join one of our Fixers to nosy around your item + start fixing.

5. Chat, question, learn, exchange.

6. Leave, feeling content*, with your (hopefully) repaired item + a new experience.

*with an insatiable thirst to find more broken things

The Repair Cafe is a not-for-profit community project, powered by volunteers, generously giving their time + skills.

Donations towards the running of the events are welcomed.

If you are feeling unsure, you are very welcome to pop down + have a look around. Come in for tea, cake + a chat - we can advise you about future repairs and/or volunteering yourself.

Additionally, if you would like to join our cohort of volunteers, or if you have any questions, please contact howdy@makersmews.com

PLEASE NOTE: This is not a commercial service- there are no promises or guarantees of a fix, just volunteers giving their best efforts to save your items for you.
