However, as we rely on volunteers, we can't always guarantee that all these skills will be available.
If you have any questions, email info@plasticfreenorthdevon.org at least 48 hours before the event to give us time to respond.

👉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.

☕We will also be serving cake and hot drinks to keep you refreshed while you watch and learn. 

🧵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.

💸 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.

🙋 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 on info@plasticfreenorthdevon.org if you would like to get involved.

🙏THANKS AND FUTURE PLANS🙏
Our Braunton Repair Cafe is a partnership project, part of Plastic Free North Devon’s expanding Repair Cafe network, hosted by the Museum of British Surfing, with the support of volunteers from the local community.

Thanks to funding from the Post Code Lottery and NatureSave funding and previous funding from National Lottery Together For Our Planet Community Fund, and the support of North Devon towns and villages, we currently have repair cafes in Landkey, Braunton, South Molton, Ilfracombe, and Barnstaple.
