Abbey People and the Cambridge Museum of Technology are partnering to bring you a Repair Café on Friday 11th July!
Our team of experienced volunteer repairers can take a look at your broken items including small household appliances, clothes and other textiles, electronic items, bikes, jewellery, and much more.
Repairs are FREE, and donations are welcome to support more Repair Cafe and climate action events in Abbey. Hot drinks, cakes and biscuits will also be available.
Booking details coming soon
We recommend booking your item in, as there will only be a few walk in slots on the day.
Getting to the museum - The museum’s entrance is on Riverside.
* By bicycle: The Museum is on Riverside, part of National Cycle Route 11. It is an easy 10 minute cycle from the city centre.
* By foot: The Museum is a pleasant and peaceful 25 minute walk along the River Cam from the city centre.

The closest stop is ‘Cambridge, River Lane’. Bus # 2 also stops nearby, an 8-minute walk across the river (direction City Centre from Cambridge North Station).

== Hosted by Abbey People Repair Cafe ==
We are a vibrant community charity in the Abbey Ward of Cambridge, improving the lives and wellbeing of Abbey residents. We do this through targeted community projects, provision of general support such as a community Food Hub, supporting access to education and employment, projects to improve the environment, and by developing a culture of volunteering in the community.
We ran our first Repair Cafe in February 2023 at the East Barnwell Community Centre, and hope to run more regular Repair Cafes every few months.
Our group is part of the Cambridgeshire Repair Cafe Network, facilitated by Cambridge Carbon Footprint.
