FREE Repair Café @ Ventnor Exchange on the Isle of Wight.
A chance to have your broken household items repaired by volunteers - and stop them going to landfill. A Repair Café is a pop-up event that brings people together to learn how to repair things that would otherwise be thrown away. Bring your broken items such as clothing, electrical items, or small items of furniture. As part of the Repair Café ethos, you will be encouraged to get involved in the repairs to try and give you the confidence to start your own repairs.
A quick guide to repair types:
- General or Electrical - Repair of household appliances, power tools, toys, lamps and other simple electrics
- Textile and Crockery - Repair of clothing, curtains, fabric, broken mugs and plates and similar
- Electronics - Computer, phone, tablet repair, help and advice
It's free of charge, but you do need to book your repair to be certain of getting a slot.
When you book you will be asked to select a free ticket with a repair type and a time. This is to help manage numbers in the venue and match your repair with the repairers available. Please book a free ticket for each item you are bringing. If a repair type is listed as 'unavailable', it means there isn't a specialist available for that kind of repair for that particular session.
Visit the Ventnor Exchange website for the next date. It happens every 2 - 3 months.
