Laund Hill Community Club, 9th July
The cafe is on tour once again, this time at Laund Hill in Salendince Nook! Bring along your fabric, clothes and material repairs, too.
Whether it’s beloved but broken, no longer for sale or you just don’t want to cough up the dough for a new one, the Huddersfield Repair Cafe is here to help.
Bring your items along, and let’s see if we can fix them, and keep them out of the landfill.
And yep; it’s totally free!
You can also get stuff fixed on Saturday 16th March at the Skircoat Repair Cafe.
Hope to see you there!
Second Saturday of every month
11AM – 3PM
Electrics, electronics, computers, mechanics, wood and metal working, and anyone with DIY skills.
You don’t have to be able to fix things to join in and help, either. The repair cafe wouldn’t run without our front-of-house volunteers, so there’s plenty to do for anyone who wants to get involved.
We often take Hudds Repair Cafe on the road. If you’d like to host a repair cafe, check out the requirements your venue would need, and get in touch.
Our good friends over in Dewsbury are planning to run some repair cafes, beginning in October. There are two venues hosting the repair cafes, and some are going to be held mid-week.
Do get in touch with the organisers if you’re interested in volunteering with Team Dewsbury.

We sometimes run additional repair cafes in different parts of Huddersfield and surrounding areas, which you can find out more about below. We’ll also try to include repair cafes by other teams when we hear about them.
If you’re running a repair cafe or know of one in the surrounding areas, let us know and we’ll give it a shout out.

Join us and make a real difference to the environment, while saving money.
Repairing and reusing are the purest forms of recycling!
Visit one of our repair cafes and bring along your items that need repairing. The more you get things fixed, the less you're adding to the landfill.
If you're handy when it comes to DIY or repairs, join the team and become one of our fixer volunteers.
The repair cafe’s ethos is found in the old call to arms of, “make do and mend!”
It’s the antidote to a disposable society.
The opposition to weaponised capitalism.
We’re fighting back against the built-in obsolescence that drives consumer greed.
Our friends over at iFixit, who’ve supported Huddersfield Repair Cafe very generously, explain the personal, community and environmental benefits of repairing, and learning to repair, very eloquently. Check it out, and take a good look around iFixit while you’re there.
Our organisation ninjas will book you in, take some details about your item that needs repairing, and you’ll join our fixer as they look at getting it working again.
It’s super simple, and it’s totally free.
We're always on the lookout for new fixers, and people to help with admin, organisation, and whatever other skills you might have that would be useful.
Don't throw things away, or buy new ones. Come to the next cafe with your items that need fixing, and let's do what we can to keep it out of the landfill together.
Help us to get the word out to the people of Huddersfield and surrounding areas about the repair cafe, what it does, and what they can do to join in.
Huddersfield is a full member of the global Repair Cafe Foundation.
The first repair cafe was organised and run by Martine Postma in 2008, in Amsterdam.
Since then she’s launched the Repair Cafe Foundation to help other people around the world start their own repair cafes, including Huddersfield.
Here’s a bit more info, direct from the Repair Cafe Foundation. Interested in starting your own? Feel free to chat with us and we’ll help however we can!
