The textiles team at Wokingham Repair Café were happy to put the smile back on this doll - we’ll be working on her hair next! Toys are just one of the things we can repair.
The next Wokingham Repair Cafes 2026 is on Saturday 12 September at All Saints Church Wokingham England from 10am-12:30pm.
Have something you'd like repaired? You don’t have to book a place – but if you register the repair before on our #WokinghamRepairCafe website you’ll get checked-in on the day quicker, and we’ll be better prepared.
Repairs are processed on-the-day in order, based on the next available repairer for that type of item. Max two items per visitor.
Enjoy a cuppa and a slice of cake while you wait. ☕🍰

Electronic waste is being prioritised for disposal rather than repair, according to new research from the University of Surrey.
The study found that only around 2% to 2.5% of devices at a municipal recycling centre were considered suitable for reuse.
By contrast, analysis of items taken to repair cafés showed that 50% were successfully fixed, it added.
