Alton Repair Café

The Alton Repair Café is a part of the International Repair Café movement. We meet regularly to offer services to people who have broken household items that they would like to keep and reuse rather than throw them away.

One item per person, turn up and sit with the repairer while they advise you how the repair can be sorted.

We have been running as a group of volunteers for nearly five years and have saved countless items from needlessly going to landfill. We have a team of over twenty skilled repair volunteers who offer their time and experience to facilitate a better future for consumer products. These skills include ceramics, computing, electrical, engineering, furniture, jewellery, mechanical, textiles, to name just a few!

Anything less bulky than a suitcase, we are willing to have a go at repairing!

Our ethos is to reuse and repair products for as long as possible.
