The Repair Café

Going from strength to strength since being set up 2 years ago and now relocating to the ECO Action Hub from March, the Repair Café is all about the importance of make-do-and-mend for sustainable living.

Learn new skills, meet new people and create the habit of repairing and reusing things. Repair skills available in the hub include:

• textiles, sewing
• woodwork, dolls, toys
• small electrical items, such as vacuums (excludes microwaves)

We aim to fix anything, our volunteers love to solve problems! Check out our Facebook and Instagram to find out what we have been fixing.

Pre-book a free ticket by clicking ‘Register’ on our Eventbrite page.

Alternatively, email us on repair.maidenhead@gmail.com.
