Repair CafE
Repair Cafés are free meeting places and they’re all about repairing things (together). In the place where a Repair Café is located, you’ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need. Clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys, etc. You’ll also find expert volunteers, with repair skills in all kinds of fields.
"Shrewsbury's Repair Cafe takes place on the THIRD Saturday of every month (except December) at The United Reformed Church, SY3 7BJ"
Faulty slow-cookers, cold curling-tongs, broken toasters, hoovers, trousers with a broken zip? Before going to the tip, bring them to the repair café and the friendly volunteers should be able to reincarnate your irreplaceable items.
"If you can carry it in, they'll try to fix it"

Visitors bring their broken items from home. Together with the specialists they start making their repairs in the Repair Café (please bring items/equipment before 12noon). It’s an ongoing learning process. If you have nothing to repair, you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Or you can lend a hand with someone else’s repair job. You can also get inspired at the reading table – by leafing through books on repairs and DIY.
