Got a broken toaster, tired lamp, or glitchy gadget? Bring it along or come and help fixing. Our team of volunteer fixers will help you troubleshoot and (hopefully) repair your small electronics and appliances. It’s hands-on, collaborative, and a great way to learn something new.

Why come?

* Reduce waste and save money
* Learn repair skills
* Meet others who care about sustainability
* Keep your favourite items working longer


* Some refreshments and snacks will be available whilst waiting for your turn.


Do:

* Check if your device is still within warranty, you may be eligible for a free repair, replacement or refund. (Which? helps in the UK).

* Take responsibility for your device and your data. Our volunteers are here to help you learn to fix your gadget, not to provide a free repair service. Get involved!

* Back up your data. We can’t be responsible for your cat pics, so please back up your device before you come. (Of course, you already do this once a month, right?)

* Charge up your device and bring all leads.

* Get in touch with organisers if you have any questions about whether a fix is possible.

Don’t:

* Assume repairs will be successful. We help fix over half of the devices at our events. Even if your repair is unsuccessful, you will learn about your device and why it failed.

* Expect us to have spare parts. But we can help you source them. Often people visit twice: first we’ll help diagnose the fault, then you source the spare part, and on your return, we’ll help you do a replacement.

* Attempt a mobile screen repair just to save money. DIY mobile screen repair is a learning opportunity first and foremost. Please see our advice page first.

* Bring a microwave.
