Event Cancelled

We are sorry to inform you that the Dorchester Repair Café scheduled for Wednesday, November 6, has been cancelled. We have not reached the minimum number of participants needed to make the event successful.

We are still hopeful of running a Repair Café in Dorchester in the future and will keep you updated. In the meantime, we'd like to invite you to join us for the final Repair Café of the year at East London Library on November 20. We'd be delighted to see you there! See here for more details and to RSVP.

Repair Café is a global movement to reduce waste and build skills and community. Having run many successful Repair Café events in London over the past six years, this will be our first Repair Café in Thames Centre!

During this two-hour event, community members can help you with your items that need fixing. If you have a small appliance or piece of clothing or something else that needs fixing, please bring it in and have it repaired - for free :)

Please read our Frequently Asked Questions for info on what we can (and can't) fix, what to bring, and how the Repair Café works on the day.

Thanks to our awesome team of volunteer "fixers", more than half of all the broken items that are brought in get repaired! Some of the items that have been repaired in the past include: lamps, toaster ovens, curling irons, clocks, jeans, purses, coats, chairs, radios, microwaves, bikes, toys, and so much more!

RSVP for free and let us know what broken items you're bringing - this will help our fixers know what tools and parts to bring. After you complete your booking, you will have an opportunity to complete a waiver online. This will save you time at the event itself.

Interested in being a “fixer”? See here for more details of what that involves and to complete a short volunteer application form.
