Registration Info:

No need to sign up beforehand. Everyone is welcome!

The work carried out at the Repair Café is done free of charge on a voluntary basis by the menders available. Repairs are not guaranteed. We won’t be able to help with complex repairs or alterations, but we can refer you to folks who can help.

If you enjoy repairing things and helping others learn how, we invite you to join us as a volunteer mender for this event.
