A repair café is a part of a grassroots movement that aims to reduce waste, overconsumption, and planned obsolescence. This café focuses on garments and is asking people to come along with their item and a trained volunteer will be there to show and do the repair alongside them.

The repairer will have some mending tools and materials with them but if it’s replacement zips or large patches the person will have to bring a coordinating zip or fabric with them.

Space is limited (6 attendees max). To book your one-hour slot please contact Galway City Museum at 091 532460 or email Museum@GalwayCity.ie . Please note the one-hour slots are 1pm-2pm; 2pm-3pm & 3pm-4pm.
