Bring along your broken item and an experienced volunteer repairer will help you fix it – or at least have a good go trying! We can tackle a wide variety of repairs including clothes, fabrics, jewellery, electrical and electronic devices, and other items. 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.

Pre-bookable slots are now full and the booking form is closed. but we do have some a limited availability for walk-ins.

We are bringing together technical professionals and other staff to create a community of repairers.

Ultimately we want to share and showcase our knowledge and skills and to engage with the wider community around the city and beyond!

To this end we are working with the Cambridge Carbon Footprint and have already hosted their 'Cambridge Crotch Repair Workshop'. We have established a repair cafe session for April 2025 and are looking to run sessions termly, rotating across our various sites.
