Join the repair revolution! 🌍💚
If you have any textiles or clothing, which need a minor repair, bring it along and our skilled volunteers will mend it. This is a free service (although donations are always welcome).
Come along to The Church of St John the Baptist anytime between 10am and 1pm.
👉Please note:
We are not a professional repair service, so please don’t bring us ‘fancy’ repairs like wedding dresses - just drop us a message if you’re not sure.
☕The cafe will be open serving cake and hot drinks, should you wish to purchase, but there is no pressure or expectation to buy.
💸 This is a FREE service! Donations are welcome but not expected.
💚 We'd love it if you could stay whilst we repair your items, our cafes are about building community connection and sharing skills too.
👖Please bring any zips or button etc. that you’d like to be used.
❓Any question or enquiries, please email us on info@plasticfreenorthdevon.org (ideallyt at least 48 hours before the event to allow us time to read and respond)

🙏THANKS AND PLANS 🙏
Our Bishop's Tawton Repair Cafe is a partnership project, part of Plastic Free North Devon’s expanding Repair Cafe network, hosted by Church of St John the Baptist, with the support of volunteers from the local community.
Thanks to previous funding for other Repair Cafes in the area from the Post Code Lottery, NatureSave funding and National Lottery Together For Our Planet Community Fund, and the support of North Devon towns and villages, we currently have repair cafes in Landkey, Bishops Tawton, Braunton, South Molton, Ilfracombe, and Barnstaple.
