UCL Repair Cafe

Bring your broken or damaged ​possessions to our Repair Cafe event, and learn the making skills that will give them a new lease of life! 

From in-person guidance on mending your beloved jumper to handy demonstrations on how to fix up your bike or kintsugi a special object with gold, there will be a whole host of useful and interesting repair activities on offer. We will provide tools, materials, and repair expertise to enable everyone to repair, no previous experience required.

Activities include:​ 

• Bike repairs (very limited slots - book now via this link)
• Plant care & repair, 
• General repairs, 
• Textiles & Clothing repair, 
• Clothes Swap Rail, 
• Decorative Kintsugi-Cansugi (Gilded Repairs).

Come and get involved!

This UCL Repair Cafe taster session is also an opportunity for members of the UCL community to come and find out how you too can get involved in contributing to this fun, sustainable activity in future cafes. Whether you and your team have specific repair skills to add to the mix, or would just like to volunteer, please come and see us.

Please note: There will be a mixture of drop-in and bookable events, and you will preferably need to bring along the broken item itself, or photos if that is not possible. Check individual event listings for specific guidance.
