'Repair Cafe' event for Narraghmore

A repair cafe event in The Hague last month celebrating the 15th anniversary of the movement.

A 'Future Ancestor Repair Cafe' event will be held at The Old Hardware in Narraghmore on Saturday 16 November, writes Brian Byrne.

Running from 10am-2pm the day will offer opportunities for people to learn how to repair and restore bicycles, furniture and textiles. The event is in association with the Blueway Art Studio in Narraghmore, and is funded through the Kildare Climate Innovation Fund.

The Repair Café concept comes from the Netherlands and was created in 2009. It is now a global initiative offering meeting space where neighbours can repair their broken items themselves supported by specialists and in a relaxed atmosphere. 

The workshop is free, but registration is essential here.
