Why shop when you can repair - or swap?!Join us in celebrating International Repair Day - and ETL's 10th birthday - with Repair Café Edinburgh! This edition will will be extra special: not only can you bring your broken things and learn to fix them yourself with the help of our friendly volunteers, but we'll also have a feature a swaptastic added bonus: a kids' clothes swap!
Join us at Leith Community Croft café (where ETL volunteers built the coffee bar in a previous community build!) for cake, a cuppa, kids' clothes swap, and advice and support with repairing your broken items (from electronics, to textiles, to bikes).
🎂 This is part of a series of events to celebrate our first 10 years of sharing (and caring!) at the Edinburgh Tool Library. We're so grateful to have you join us for the celebrations. Here's to all the repairs that have been happening behind the scenes at the Tool Library and to all the future repairs that will save objects from the bin!

Repair Café: How does it work?
- Repair cafés are free and for everyone, tool library members and non-members! Is one of your favourite items broken but you're not sure how to fix it? Bring it along to our volunteer experts and get all the practical help, advice and guidance you need, to repair it, while enjoying a cuppa ☕
- BOOK A SLOT VIA EMAIL: Our repair cafés have been more and more successful so we highly recommend you to book your slot if you have something you want to fix. If you’ve got something that you want to fix, please email the team at [email protected] to confirm suitability and to book your slot.
- AREAS OF EXPERTISE? Our fixers can usually give most things a go. They have particular expertise in electrical, electronic and mechanical devices, fabrics and clothing. That translates as things like toys, small electricals, laptops, lamps, the list could go on!
If you’ve got something that you want to fix, you can email the team at [email protected] to confirm suitability and to reserve your place. Or just turn up on the day and we’ll take a look.
