If you have any questions, email info@earthrepairshop.org at least 48 hours before the event to give us time to respond.

๐Ÿ‘‰Please note:

We are not a professional repair service, so please donโ€™t bring us โ€˜fancyโ€™ repairs like wedding dresses - just drop us a message if youโ€™re not sure.

โ˜•The cafe will be open serving cake and hot drinks, should you wish to purchase, but there is no pressure or expectation to buy.

๐Ÿ’ธ This is a FREE service! Donations are welcome but not expected.

๐Ÿ’š We'd love it if you could stay whilst we repair your items, our cafes are about building community connection and sharing skills too.

๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธVOLUNTEER WITH US๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ
We are always on the lookout for a few more volunteers, either to share their mending skills at the Cafes or to help out behind the scenes and welcome people on the day. You donโ€™t need to be a professional seamstress or upholsterer or mechanic to volunteer - just someone with some basic skills who is happy to share what they know or a friendly welcoming face to help run the event. There is no pressure to undertake any repairs that you are not confident with.
Please get in touch with us on info@earthrepairshop.org if you would like to get involved.
