Come along ...

Repair Cafe Weymouth is run by volunteers. The team offers expert repairing skills – mechanical, electrical, electronics, carpentry, gluing, clocks, sewing, jewellery and craft – to fix your things. You sit alongside the expert repairer so you can be involved in making any necessary choices and pick up some fixing tips at the same time. Some items need replacement parts and the cafe has a stock of those regularly encountered. If your item is hard to bring in take a photo and contact us beforehand.

Date and Time

Repair Cafe events are held* on the second Saturday of every month (except in July and August), from 10:30 to 12:30.
At: Our new spacious venue The Top Club, set into the grassy banks of Louviers Road, Littlemoor,
Weymouth DT3 6AY.

We closed for 2 years but we are now up and running again. There is loads of space at Top Club, free parking and a friendly cafe. It is on the number 2 bus route. See our Facebook page for more details.

In May 2023, we took part in "The Big Fix 2023". It is an event where Repair Cafes and repair organisations all over the UK will raise awareness of our amazing achievements. We held a mammoth 3 hour event with as many repairers as we could cram into Top Club and 83 repairs were brought in. Three councillors came - well one of them volunteers with us regularly. 

Avoid the bin and save landfill

It is estimated that 35,500 items that could be reused or repaired go to Household Waste Recycling Centres every day. By repairing or re-using those items we could save £2.2 million EVERY DAY.

If we improve our approach to to repair and reuse e.g. by selling repaired items alongside new items, by 2028 we could be reusing and repairing more than 15 million items every year. That would save 930,000 tonnes of carbon emissions, equivalent to taking 189,000 cars off the road.

At our Repair Cafe, there are tools, materials and expert volunteers. We aim to do repairs that take up to 40 minutes. If it needs longer, we can advise so you can complete the repair at home or you can bring it to another event for us to finish the job. 

• Bring broken items from home
• Work together with specialists to make repairs
• Lend a hand with someone else's repair job
• Socialise

Please make a donation if you are happy with your repair so we can continue to help others.
