At TWO locations:
hand.plant Cafe, 76 High St, Ilfracombe EX34 9NQ and
Delta, Marlborough Rd, Ilfracombe EX34 9NG

Drop in anytime between 11am and 1pm and give your tired, torn or temperamental items a new lease of life. Every fix keeps something out of landfill, strengthens local know-how, and brings neighbours together.

What fixing services we usually offer:

• Textiles

• Mechanical

• Tool Sharpening

• Electrical

• PAT Testing

• Bicycles

• Toys

• Sewing Machines (simple fixes and tune-ups)

All repairs are dependent on volunteer availability. If you’re unsure whether to bring something, please email us at least 48 hours before and we’ll check: info@earthactionnorthdevon.org 

A few notes:

• We’re a community repair space, not a professional service, so very complex or specialist items may be better handled elsewhere.

• Please stay while we work on your item. The Repair Cafe is about learning, connection and shared skills.

• All our repairers are volunteers and we will ask you to read and sign a disclaimer before we undertake your repair.

• Donations are welcome but never expected.

• Cake and hot drinks are always available to keep spirits high.

Want to volunteer?

We’d love more helpers, whether you mend things or simply enjoy welcoming people. No professional qualifications needed, just willing hands and a friendly heart.
