Repair Café
|This event is supported by Tesco, the National Lottery Community Fund and One Slough Community Fund|
A Repair Café is a volunteer-run event where repair coaches help visitors to fix their beloved but broken item and extend its life. 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.
It’s free to have you item checked and repaired. Should spare parts be need to be purchased, we can advise you where you can buy those.
Our events run every last Saturday of the month from 11:00 to 14:00 inside the Queensmere Shopping Centre, SL1 1LN.
Book a free timeslot by clicking here. Tickets will be available until 11:00 on the Thursday before the event.
Repair skills available at the next event include, amongst others:
- Small electrical items (excludes microwaves and white goods)
- General computer/ laptop repairs
- Mending, textiles repairs (excludes alterations)
- Basic woodwork, small furniture items
If you doubt your item is fixable, contact the Repair Café with a description and photo, and we can advise you before you attend the Repair Café.
