Repair Cafe Lyme Regis

Repair Cafe Lyme Regis The Lyme Regis Repair Café is about repairing things together, receiving expert advice and meeting in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Why a Repair Café?

We are open on the third Saturday of each month from 10.00 - 13:00. We throw away vast amounts of stuff. Even things with almost nothing wrong, and which could get a new lease on life after a simple repair. The trouble is, lots of people have forgotten that they can repair things themselves. Especially younger generations no longer know how to do that. Knowing how to make repairs is a skill quickl

y lost. This is a threat to a sustainable future and to the circular economy, in which raw materials can be reused again and again. That’s why there’s a Repair Café! People with repair skills get the appreciation they deserve. Invaluable practical skills are passed on. Things are being used for longer and don’t have to be thrown away. This reduces the volume of raw materials and energy needed to make new products. It cuts CO2 emissions, for example, because manufacturing new products and recycling old ones causes CO2 to be released. The Repair Café teaches people to see their possessions in a new light. And, once again, to appreciate their value. Repair Café helps change people’s mindset. This is essential to kindle people’s enthusiasm for a sustainable society. But most of all, the Repair Café just wants to show how much fun repairing things can be, and how easy it often is.

The BIG FIX runs throughout May 2026. It's co-ordinated by Devon County Council, and feedback from 44 participating repair cafés throughout the southwest holding a repair session during the month will be collated and summarised in a single report. This will show the collective impact we're making on reducing waste, saving cost and giving thousands of broken household items a new lease of life.

It has one aim - to repair as many broken things as possible.

This year Lyme Regis Repair Café is taking part in the BIG FIX for the first time, so bring along something to get fixed!

Saturday 16th May 10:00-13:00 at the Boat Building Academy Lyme Regis.
