Skilled volunteers will help you fix a broken item at the Coton Repair Cafe! We can take a wide variety of repairs to small household and garden appliances, whether mechanical, electrical or electronic, along with repairs to bicycles, jewellery, clothing, textiles and ceramics. We like to show you how we repair your item, so that you might be able to do a repair yourself next time.

Even if you don’t have anything to repair, please come along and buy a tea and a slice of cake – it’s a social event as well as a useful repair shop!

At 3pm, there will be a 30-minute bike maintenance demonstration, providing practical tips and guidance to help keep bicycles in good working order.

Repairs are free, but donations are welcome. Money raised will be given to the Cambridge Carbon Footprint (CCF) charity that enables these cafes to happen. CCF promotes the repair cafes around Cambridgeshire, and have provided us with some experienced repairers to mentor our own Coton repairers, provided insurance (by Wessex Insurance), tool kit hire and much more for the cafe to go ahead.

We open for bookings on the 1st May. Booking link: https://forms.gle/chBn28LG37c1jwzs5Opens in a new window

Please book one item per person (you may bring in a second and if time permits we may be able to take a look).

We shall leave some slots open for drop in repairs. So if you haven’t booked your repair, do bring an item along anyway, and we can try and get it repaired for you.

Bring on the repairs!
