The Repair Café is all about getting together to repair broken items and get professional advice. People meet up and find inspiration.

How much does it cost? A voluntary donation.

Would you like to join us as a repairer? Are you handy or can you sew? Then get in touch with us! You’re very welcome and will be greeted by a friendly team!

If you have skills in electronics, woodwork, mechanics, sewing, etc., or if you can repair things, don’t hesitate to contact us to support the Repair Café! You can also help with reception and organisation.

Please note that on the day of the event, there may not be any repairers with specialist knowledge in certain areas present.

For devices with touchscreens/smartphones, services are generally limited to diagnosis and advice. We strongly recommend having these devices repaired by specialist shops that have all the necessary tools and expertise to carry out a proper repair.

What should I check before I come?

The device’s power supply: Is the indicator light on? Is the battery or are the batteries charged? Is the power cable in good condition?

Device maintenance: Empty the filters in hairdryers and vacuum cleaners, descale a coffee machine using citric acid or similar, etc.

What do I need to bring with me for the repair?

Remember everything you need to test the item you want to have repaired. For a coffee machine, for example, bring some coffee or a capsule. For a DVD player, bring a DVD. For a petrol engine, bring your petrol. Etc., charger, cables, manual if available.

For your hi-fi system: remote control, speakers.

For your TV: cables used for connection (to the receiver, to the amplifier).

The spare part, if you have already identified the fault.
