Great Shelford Repair Cafe

Bring along your broken item and a skilled volunteer will help you fix it!  We can tackle a wide variety of repairs including jewellery, electrical and electronic devices, as well as clothes and fabrics.

Please do book in your item for repair – this helps us plan our schedule so we can avoid people having to wait, and also means we can do our homework in advance to assess the repair.

Bookings will open in late August and close on the Tuesday before the event (or earlier if we reach full capacity).

Please note that we will not be able to replace cracked screens on phones or tablets. The repairers are brilliant and can fix a lot of things but there are no guarantees.

We will also have a stall to accept unwanted working electricals, run by Cambridge Carbon Footprint, so they can be checked for safety before being offered a new home.

Please bear in mind that we are always busiest when the cafe opens at 2pm – best to aim to arrive on time for your booked slot if you have one, or anytime between 2:15 and 4:15 if you don’t have a booking.

You can read more about what happens at a repair cafe in our blog post.

We will collect portable non-working (unfixable) electrical items and ensure these are properly disposed of.
