Sun 17 Nov 2024, 1:00pm – 4:00pm
This Repair Cafe will have a distinctly festive feel with our experienced repairers embracing the tradition of repair for which elves are well known. Repair Cafes match experienced volunteer repairers with people who need stuff fixing. Please bring us your broken toys, festive clothing, Christmas lights and decorations. We’ll also be seeing all the regular items you need mending like electricals, household and garden gadgets, clothing, jewellery etc. We’ll do our best to fix your item but if we can’t, we’ll try and suggest a next step.
** Bookings for this Repair Cafe are now closed** We have some limited walk in slots available especially for musical instrument repairs. For the times, venues and booking details of other Cambs Repair Cafés, please check Cambridge Carbon Footprint‘s event page.
Please note: we won’t be taking on TVs or microwaves as we won’t have a specialist on the team. And we don’t usually take on mobile phone or tablet repairs as there are several repair businesses nearby.
Outside The Elf Repair Cafe there will be a Christmas Jumper Swish – one rail for children’s and one for adults. Please bring along a Christmas jumper in good, clean condition and swap it for one that’s new to you. This will be free – it’s all about getting unworn clothing out of the closet!
Our Repair Cafés are free events, but we are grateful for any donations so we can cover our costs and keep our toolkit fully resourced. This event is insured by Wessex insurance.
Accessibility details for the Grand Arcade (parking, lifts, toilets etc) are here
You’ll find us in ‘Mrs Claus’ Grotto’ on the first floor of the Grand Arcade (next to The White Company). We’re delighted to be partnering with the Grand Arcade and contributing to their ‘Let’s Go Circular’ initiative.
