Beeston Repair Cafe

Beeston Fixers, are a group of community volunteers, who are ready to help you learn to repair your broken households items. We believe that there are many items that can be repaired rather than be replaced. or thrown away, and we want to 'Share the Repair' and involve you in the fixing.

• Appointments are limited to ONE per person, per event – PLEASE RESPECT this request to allow us to help fix other people's items too.
• Only book ONE TICKET for your item NOT one ticket per person attending.
• SCROLL through the ticket types and book in for the FIX TYPE you require, e.g textiles/electrical/ general repair and the TIME SLOTwhich suits you.
• IF you are booking an electrical item ticket then please also EMAIL us at [email protected] and say what item you want fixing - if you know the make and model then that is useful infoemation too - and also let us know what the problem seems to be PLEASE NOTE we do NOT fix TVs or MIcrowaves. his helps our fixers bring the right tools along. Many thanks.PLEASE NOTE we do NOT fix TVs or MIcrowaves.

• Take note of your ticket time! - As sometimes, the time is not clear when you print your info out.

• If possible, bring anything you can which will help us fix your item - e.g. if you need a new zip, please bring the zip along with you, and we can show you how to mend your item with it.

• Adults and accompanied children welcome but, sorry NO dogs EXCEPT assistance dogs allowed inside.
• Refreshments will be available to buy, on a pay as you feel basis( proceeds go to help cover room hire and our other costs).
• We look forward to seeing you with ONE item , which you would like to learn how to repair.

*************************Disclaimer ******************************

We’re happy to share our skills, and help you learn how to repair your item. but please be aware, a fix is not always possible, and it is your responsibility to take the item home whether it has been fixed, or not. We will of course try our best - and it may be, that even if we can not fix your item on the day, that we are able to point you the right direction, to know how to fix it in the future.

YOUwill be asked to sign this when you arrive - please read before attending. No need to print it out as welll have copies for you. Thank you :

Attendee House Rules & Disclaimer :

I understand that: 

1.  Photographs or video may be taken at the Repair Café and used for publicity purposes. If I don’t want  photographs or video of me to be used in this way, I will let the organisers know. 

2. I bring items to be repaired at my own risk.

 All repairs are free of charge and carried out by unpaid volunteers. Neither the organisers of the Repair Café  nor the repairers can be held responsible if the item can’t be repaired, the repair doesn’t last, or the item is  accidentally damaged in the course of the attempted repair. 

3. Repairers may choose not to attempt to repair my item. 

This could be for safety or any other reason. Sometimes a professional repair service is needed. If we can,  we’ll suggest a local provider. 

4. Repairers may take my item apart and not put it back together again. 

For example, if the item is unsafe or broken beyond repair. 

5. If batteries, leads, plugs, fuses, zips or other ‘consumables’ are needed, I will provide them if I am able to. 

6. I have to stay with the repairer while my repair is being carried out. 

If you can work with the repairer and pick up new skills, that’s even better! 

7.  I have to take my item away with me when I leave. Even if it’s not been possible to fix it. 

8. If I’ve brought children with me, I’m responsible for their behaviour and safety. 

I have read, understood and agreed to abide by the above house rules /disclaimer
