Sat 6 Dec 2025, 11:00am – 2:00pm
Bring your broken household item and a skilled volunteer will help you fix it at the new Histon and Impington Repair Cafe! We can take a wide variety of repairs including electrical and mechanical items, as well as textiles and clothing for sewing repair, and sharpening, gluing and woodwork repairs – almost anything you can carry, in fact. We like to show you how we do it, so that if it happens again, you might be able to do it yourself. Note that we can’t take microwaves, air fryers, bikes, TVs or mobile phones / tablets.
In addition to the usual repairs, if you have a computer still running Windows 10 and would like to discuss your options going forwards, we might be able to help, just get in touch via the booking form in the usual way #EndOf10
This is a community initiative, run by HI Sustainability jointly with Histon Baptist and St Andrew’s Histon Eco Church Groups, on Saturday 6th December, from 11am to 2pm. It is a free event, with donations welcome on the day.
Location: Histon Baptist Church Hall, Station Road, Histon, CB24 9LQ
Booking: Due to the level of demand, we are not able to take further bookings.
A number of slots are being kept for those who turn up on the day, but bookings will take priority and you may have to wait. We request that you bring only one item per person, but if we have time and you can wait as necessary then it may be possible to have a second item seen by a repairer.
A cafe serving drinks and home-made cakes and savouries will be available.
Cycle parking is available in front of the venue. The number 8 bus stops outside, and the guided bus is less than 10 minutes walk away. There is a car park adjacent and on street parking is also available. The venue is wheelchair accessible with disabled toilet facilities.
