Community Repair Event: Friday, 19th April @ TOG Hackerspace
Bring your broken tech and trinkets to get them fixed by the skilled volunteers at TOG Hackerspace!
On 19th April 2025, TOG Hackerspace will host their second Repair Café of the year. Over the next year, we’re partnering with TOG to bring a series of community Repair Cafés to various locations across Dublin. This café will be held between 2 and 6pm in the TOG Hackerspace on the 19th of April.
Free tickets to the Repair Cafe can be found on Eventbrite.
At this event, the skilled volunteers at TOG will share their expertise and passion for repair, helping you fix your broken items and breathe new life into them. Whether it’s a malfunctioning gadget, a piece of clothing in need of mending, or a household item that’s seen better days, bring it along and let the TOG team work their magic.
At the Repair Café, you can learn how to repair the item yourself, or watch and learn from the fantastic volunteers while enjoying a tea or coffee. TOG members will also be on hand to give you a tour while you wait!
Repair Cafés are a great way to support a circular economy, reduce waste, and extend the life of your belongings.
