The Repair Cafe Edinburgh pop-up returns this April for its first event in central Edinburgh, at the SHRUB Zero Waste Hub! This event is hosted by Repair Cafe Edinburgh, who will be on hand to help you with your repair questions and guide you with your fixes.

So if you want to repair your broken electrical, electronic and mechanical devices such as toys, small electricals, laptops, lamps…you can email Repair Cafe at repaircafeedinburgh@gmail.com to confirm suitability and to reserve your place.

Or just turn up on the day and they will take a look.

Please note: At busy times you might need to wait for a volunteer to become available. Priority will be given to local residents and those with reserved places. Last repairs will begin at 4:30pm to allow time for finishing up.

This event is free and runs from 2pm to 5pm. Tea, coffee and soft drinks will be available for purchase.
