Oakington Repair Cafe

Sat 8 Feb 2025, 11:00am – 2:00pm

Join us for the second Oakington Repair Cafe!

After a very popular first Repair Cafe in 2024, Oakington Repair Cafe returns to the Oakington Pavilion on 8th February 2025. Join us for repairs, conversation and treats from Oakington’s finest bakers!

All repairs are free, thanks to our team of experienced volunteer repairers, although donations are very welcome.

Our cafe will again serve hot and cold drinks, cakes, and light lunches and is open to everyone – you don’t need to be having an item repaired!

We recommend booking repairs in advance to avoid a long wait for walk-in slots on the day. In the interest of fairness, we will only accept one booking per person*.

To book a repair slot, please complete our booking form: https://forms.gle/4MwAovy9vo2NZkXd9

This year, we will be accepting:

• Bikes (broken, or in need of a tune-up)
• Clothes and other textiles (stitching, patches, buttons, zips etc.)
• Computers/laptops/tablets/phones (software and some hardware problems; not broken screens)
• Items needing sharpening (garden tools, kitchen equipment etc.)
• Electrical/mechanical/other items (appliances, clocks, toys, items in need of gluing etc.)
