June Repair Cafe
Saturday 17th June 1.30pm – 4pm
Join this free Whangarei community gathering in which people with repair skills share their time and talents to fix their community’s belongings.
For this event, volunteers donate their time to help repair small appliances and electronics, textiles/clothes, tool sharpening, bicycle repair, household, and wooden items.
If you know the specific part needed to repair your item, we ask that you bring it along.
There will also be wonderful flat whites and baking to help fund ongoing costs.
We’re happy to help you learn how to repair. We are not repair professionals, Repair Cafes are a community self-repair space. Attending means that you take responsibility for your own item.
