Repair Cafés are free meeting places and they’re all about repairing things (together). At a Repair Café event you’ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need. On clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys, et cetera. You’ll also find expert volunteers, with repair skills in all kinds of fields.

Visitors bring their broken items from home. Together with the specialists they start troubleshooting and repairing the item in the Repair Café. If you have nothing to repair, you could lend a hand with someone else’s repair job.

There are over 2,500 Repair Cafés worldwide, however the Charlotte group just started this year. We have partnered with the Innovation Barn and hold our events there between 1 and 4pm on Certain Saturdays. If we find enough interest we plan on running these every other month.
