Choose a pumpkin you'll actually eat 🎃
The scariest thing about Halloween? Wasting good food.
Before carving, think about how you'll use your pumpkin afterwards. Soup, curry, risotto, cake or roasted seeds are all delicious ways to make the most of it.

October Repair cafe

17/10/2026

Today marks the 10th anniversary of International Repair day.

We’re thrilled to be part of a growing movement and we had another 60 items come through the door last Sunday.

6 scouts helped us inventorise our shared stock and set up our Halloween swap/ donate or pick up a bargain (proceeds went to Dove cottage).

09/10/2026

We’ve recorded nearly 920* items coming through our doors since Jan ‘25 in a sorry state.

With great problem solving skills, a lot of TLC and patience plus decades of experience between our merry band of volunteers, 75% have been repaired and saved from landfill.

Who will bring in our 1000th item?

We’ll be following this with interest.
Do bring any unwanted cables to our event on 11th October and 1 of our volunteers strips out the copper, donating the proceeds to Bottesford Repair Cafe

🔌 Be honest...

How many old chargers, mystery cables and unused gadgets are tucked away in your home right now?

International E-Waste Day is coming up on 14 October, making now the perfect time for a clear out.

Over the next two weeks we'll be sharing tips on how to repair, pass on and recycle unwanted electricals.

What's the strangest cable you've found at the back of a drawer?
