The Isle of Wight Repair Cafe will hold its final session of 2025 on Saturday 13th December at Quay Arts in Newport.
The event starts at 10am and will run until approximately 12pm, making it a shorter session than usual. The timing offers Islanders an opportunity to repair items ahead of the Christmas period.
Volunteer team ready to help
A team of volunteer repairers will be on hand to fix your broken items or provide advice on repairs.
The team aims to help restore items to working order or guide owners on how to complete repairs themselves.
Booking system in place
The Repair Cafe operates a booking system with 30-minute time slots available.
Organisers ask people to provide detailed information when they book their slot. This advance detail helps the team ensure they have the necessary tools and supplies ready on the day.
The system increases the likelihood that volunteers can successfully repair items.
Growing repair movement
The organisers describe the initiative as part of a “repair revolution” and welcome anyone who shares their enthusiasm for fixing rather than discarding items.
They encourage people to spread word of the event and follow the Repair Cafe’s social media presence on Facebook, Mastodon and Bluesky for updates.
People can book slots through the Repair Cafe’s online booking system.
