Repair Café Maidenhead

A repair café is a volunteer-run event where repair coaches help visitors to fix their beloved but broken item and extend its life.
About this Event

Why throw it away when it can be brought back to life with just a little help!?

Learn new skills, meet new people and create the habit of repairing and reusing things.

We're back at the library!

When: Every second Saturday of the month between 10am - 3pm. Allocated time slots are available subject to a small donation.

Where: Maidenhead library.

Important: Our events are open to all and free to attend. We work with a donation-based booking system with Eventbrite for specific time allocation. So if you wish to pre-book your ticket click ‘Register’, and choose a dedicated time slot. This would be subject to a small donation (min. £2).

If you are on benefits and/or experience any issues booking please e-mail us at: [email protected]

Typical repair skills include, amongst others:

• small electrical items and electronics (excludes microwaves, electric blankets and large items)
• IT assistance(e.g. anti-virus, software updates, digital literacy)
• laptops/computers, phone repairs (excludes screen repairs)
• mending, textiles repairs
• glass and ceramic repairs, book binding, fixing picture frames
• basic woodwork, small furniture items

Please book one ticket per item to be repaired. We ask that you bring one item per event to give everyone the opportunity to get it looked at.

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

Tickets will be available until 1pm on the last Thursday prior to the event.
