Share Skipton Repair Cafe

Repair cafés are community events where people repair household items with help from expert volunteer repairers. They’re a great way to save items with fixable faults from going to landfill and an opportunity to learn some mending skills while you’re there.

You can bring all sorts of things, from clothes to toys, electrical appliances to bikes, and clocks to jewellery. Anything in need of mending. You can also bring knives or secateurs to be sharpened (please ensure any blades are covered and safe when travelling with them).

We’ll have different tools available to help with the mending and will work with you to repair your item. Our exact repair categories may change from time to time depending on volunteer availability and expertise, so be sure to check the list above before each event. We may not be able to fix everything, but will try our best or give advice!

Repairs are free. A voluntary donation is always welcomed to cover costs of small parts, but it is not required.

Share Skipton Repair Cafés are run by volunteers, from people who help with the repairs to people who make cups of tea and show visitors where to go. They’re held on the last Saturday of each month and are open from 10am-1pm.

If you’d like to get involved and volunteer, please visit our Volunteer page on our website for more information and to apply.
