👉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 expectation to buy.
🧵If you are unsure on whether to bring an item or not - please email info@plasticfreenorthdevon.org and we will run it by our sewing stars to see what we can do.
🧵Donations are welcome but not expected.
🧵We'd rather you didn't drop and run (unless you have to) - this event is about building community connection and sharing skills.
🧵 Can't make this one?
Our Landkey Repair Cafe is currently held on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at Willows Tea Room in Landkey or see find more upcoming Repair Cafes throughout North Devon on our What's On page.
VOLUNTEER WITH US
We are always on the lookout for a few more volunteers, either to share their mending skills at the Cafes or to help out behind the scenes and welcome people on the day. You don’t need to be a professional seamstress or upholsterer or mechanic to volunteer - just someone with some basic skills who is happy to share what they know. There is no pressure to undertake any repairs that you are not confident with. 🙋
Please get in touch with PFND via info@plasticfreenorthdevon.org if you would like to get involved.
THANKS AND PLANS
Our Landkey Repair Cafe is a partnership project, part of PFND’s expanding Repair Cafe network, hosted by Willow's Tearoom, with the support of volunteers from the local community.
Plastic Free North Devon are building on the success of their original Braunton Repair Cafes, thanks to funding from the National Lottery Together For Our Planet Community Fund, and supporting North Devon towns and villages to get their own Repair Cafes up and running. PFND are also members of the national Repair Cafe Network. There are currently Repair Cafes in Braunton, Landkey, Ilfracombe, and Barnstaple.
If you are an individual or community group interested in setting up or becoming involved with a Repair Cafe in your own town or village, please get in touch with us at info@plasticfreenorthdevon.org.
