Repair Cafe

As part of St Ninian’s Climate Cafe work, Edinburgh’s Repair Cafe are visiting in October.

Got something that’s broken? Want to try fixing it but not sure how?  Repair Cafes are free community events where you can bring your item and volunteer fixers will guide you through your repair.

On Saturday 25th October, Repair Cafe Edinburgh will be popping up in Comely Bank! Our volunteers will be on hand to help you to repair your broken electrical, electronic and mechanical devices such as toys, small / low-voltage electricals, laptops… we’ll also have experts to help with bicycles, and clothing / fabrics repairs.

Not everything’s fixable at our events – we’re limited by time, spare parts, safety, capacity – to avoid disappointment we encourage you to contact us beforehand. So if you’ve got something that you want to fix, email us at repaircafeedinburgh@gmail.com to confirm suitability and to reserve your place. Or just turn up on the day and we’ll try to take a look.
Please note: At busy times you might need to wait for a volunteer to become available. Priority will be given to local residents and those with reserved places. The last repair session will begin at 4.30pm to allow time for finishing up.

St Ninian’s is easy to reach by bus, and there is free parking in the surrounding streets. They also host a regular Climate Cafe where people can share concerns, ideas, and knowledge around the environmental problems the world faces – plus cake and a cuppa! More information will be available at the event.

See you there!
