Brought to you by Berkshire Repair Cafes
Thank you for visiting the Repairium at Reading Festival 2026! We hope we were able to help you today.
We are made up of volunteers from Repair Cafes across Berkshire who have come together because as a society 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. Knowing how to make repairs is a skill quickly lost. This is a threat to a sustainable future and to the circular economy, in which raw materials can be reused again and again.
As part of Repair Cafes International we work to ensure that 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.
There are over 4000 Repair Cafés worldwide of which around 500 are in the UK, when you return home you can find your nearest here. You can visit to get things repaired or maybe you are interested in becoming a volunteer?

Don’t forget we are raising funds for Berkshire Youth who work to support the development, education, and growth of young people. You can make a donation here.
