After two successful events in 2024, we are looking forward to hosting another Repair Cafe in 2025.
We will have all sorts of people offering to help to repair things, many of whom have been volunteering at Repair Cafes across Cambridgeshire for several years. We hope to have electrical, electronic and mechanical repairs. As well as repairers taking care of jewellery and sewing and mending.
Our team of volunteer repairers will be helping for free and there is no charge for admission. We welcome donations to cover our costs and to help us grow our network and foster a culture of repair. Repairers will pinpoint the problem and try to fix it there and then for you, or let you know what spare parts to get for when you come back next time. This event is run in partnership with Cambridge Carbon Footprint and insured by Wessex Insurance.
During the event we will have a recycling bin for small electrical items only which are beyond repair. Most small items with a plug, battery or cable will be accepted, including toys, appliances, phones, power tools etc; but we can’t take smoke alarms, damaged batteries, ammonia fridges, pressurised cylinders, laptops or screens. The items will be used for parts where possible, and otherwise dismantled to be recycled.
The Eco Hub cafe will also be open so come along for a drink and a biscuit or cake, to see what is going on even if you don’t have an item booked in for repair this time.
Also do get in touch if you think that you have repair skills that you would like to offer and then we can let you know what’s involved. The venue has good disability access and facilities and we welcome all.
There is a car park available right next to the Eco Hub and plenty of bike racks.

Gamlingay Repair Cafe is a volunteer-led venture between The Eco Hub community centre and the Climate Action Group of Gamlingay Parish Council. As a group we were looking for positive actions to take in our local area to reduce our collective carbon footprint, reduce waste as well as bring the community together. Our first cafe is Sunday 7th April 2024 and we hope to run an event twice a year.
