Sun 16 Nov 2025, 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 are now open, please book your item in using the simple form HERE. We have some limited walk-in slots available, but you may have to wait. For the times, venues and booking details of other Cambs Repair Cafés, please check the Cambridge Carbon Footprint event page.
Please note: we won’t be taking on TVs, microwaves or air fryers and we don’t usually take on mobile phone or tablet repairs as there are several repair businesses nearby.
Our Repair Cafés are free events, but we are grateful for any donations
You’ll find us in Mrs Claus’ Grotto on the first floor of the Grand Arcade. Accessibility details (parking, lifts, toilets etc) are here
Over every weekend in December, Mrs Claus’ Grotto will be hosting the magical ‘Mrs Claus’ Storytime’, a popular, cosy and festive storytelling activity for all the family. Tickets cost £4.oo and can be booked HERE with all proceeds going to Cambridge Carbon Footprint (CCF) to support their Repair Cafe work. CCF are delighted to be partnering with the Grand Arcade and contributing to their ‘Let’s Go Circular’ initiative.
