Clevedon Repair Café Repair Café is a community pop-up event, where people who like to fix things meet people with things to repair.
We want to help people to use things for longer, thus saving money and reducing waste. With tea and cake 🙂
Why come?
Have you got something which needs some TLC, or is broken and you haven’t had the time or skills to fix it yourself? A button that needs replacing; a lamp that doesn’t work; a favourite vase that needs gluing for example, or a teddy that need stitching?
Well, don’t throw it away, bring it to a Repair Café and our volunteers will have go at fixing it!
Where are we?
We hold events on the second Saturday of the month, from 10am to 12pm. You will find us in the 2nd Clevedon Scout Hall, Coleridge Vale Rd North, BS21 6NL. It is behind the Christadelphian Church. Look out for the Repair Cafe Flag on the street during our events so you know you have found us.
A What3Words location is: bands.debate.fruit
What can we do?
Our skills vary each month so do check our Facebook page to see what we can cover on any particular event.
Generally, we can cover:
👚 Clothing & textiles
📻 Small electricals / IT
⚙️Mechanical items
🚲 Bikes
🔪 Sharpening
🪑 Small wooden items
🏺 Ceramics
📕 Book bindery advice
Our events have a great buzz. On average we are able to fix many items brought in and can give advice on the rest. Only a minority can’t be repaired.
Who are we?
Repair Café volunteers are local people who like community, fixing and repair, and getting the most out of things. We are not necessarily professionals, but people who are willing to get stuck in. We enjoy fixing and repair, not only to keep our repair skills and knowledge alive but also to help others, and keep things out of landfill.
What’s the catch?
None! We are volunteers wanting to help in our community. This means that we cannot guarantee to fix something but we will certainly try and help you out.
We don’t charge for repairs but donations are always welcome to help us cover the costs of putting on the event.
