Repair Café

A Repair Café event is designed for the community to meet and bring their broken possessions to be fixed by a group of local volunteers. It’s about repairing together, learning from each other, and promoting a more sustainable approach to our belongings. Plus, it’s free of charge!

Need something fixed? This Repair Café will have fixers who can help with the following areas/items: 

• Sewing and mending clothes, patching holes and tears, sewing on buttons, and restitching
• Bike repairs and tune-ups
• Furniture repairs
• Small appliances and electronics
• Eyecare fixes
• Jewelry repairs
• General carpentry

Please ensure that the clothes you bring are clean. Our sewing team is always in high demand, so we kindly ask that you limit yourself to three textile or clothing items. Please be reminded that you are expected to stay while your item is being repaired.
