Repair Café: Buckden Village Hall
Saturday, 7 June 2025
13:30 – 16:30
13:30 – 16:30
Buckden Repair Café will be back on June 7th. This time we hope to include a clothes swap event too (more details below). If you are having a "Spring Clean" and find something in need of fixing, please don't throw it out but bring it along to the Repair Café where our repairers will try to fix it for FREE!
We welcome small household appliances, electrical and electronic items, computers, mobiles, jewellery, sharpening and mending garden tools, clothes, wooden items, gadgets, bicycles & more - just e-mail us with the details and we'll see if we can find someone to look at your item. Bookings will open at the beginning of May and can be made directly using this link https://forms.gle/3NjojicPWCLyMcVQ7 or e-mail us at buckdenrepaircafe@gmail.com
The Café is open to everyone, whether you have something to mend or not, so why not join us for a cuppa and a piece of delicious home-made cake or scone, jam and cream or something savoury if that's more to your taste.
We also run a small plant stall and welcome donations of pot plants, seedlings, unused but still viable packets of seeds, etc.
Our Clothes Swap will run in parallel with the Repair Café. We will be asking for donations of good quality clothing in exchange for the opportunity to swap it for something new to you. So, if you are sorting out clothing before buying something new for the summer, perhaps give our Clothes Swap a whirl rather than put it in a charity bag or the clothing bank.
We look forward to seeing you there!

The Climate Change Mitigation Advisory Group of the Parish Council are working to make a more sustainable future for the village. One of the things we want to do is to reduce the amount of “stuff” that people buy and send to landfill.
We hope that by holding a repair cafe at least twice a year we might be able to start to decrease things bought and disposed off unnecessarily. We also want to provide a community focus for more action on tackling climate change.
Currently run by a core group of eight volunteers, we would love to welcome anyone who is interested in the Repair Café movement to join us, especially anyone with repair skills.
