#RestartParties & other community repair events
"Communities around the world run repair events where you can get help to fix your broken belongings – from tablets to toasters, from laptops to crop tops. Find an event near you below!
We call our London events Restart Parties because they have a fun, ad-hoc spirit where all are welcome to meet, mingle, and share in the fun of repair. Other groups in the network use different names but we all host similar kinds of events.
More than 600 groups in over 20 countries have joined in, listing events here. We also work with Repair Together who list events in Belgium and Repair Café Hauts-de-France. If there isn’t an upcoming event listed near you, get in touch with a group nearby.
Don’t see a group near you? Consider starting one."

#TuscaloosaPublicLibrary To Host #RepairCafe
The #Tuscaloosa Public Library will once again host its Repair Cafe on Saturday, July 12.
by Ryan Phillips, Posted Thu, Jun 26, 2025
"The event will be held from noon until 3 p.m., with the first installment earlier this year giving nearly 300 patrons the chance to learn how to repair electronics, small appliances, clothing, jewelry, furniture, #bicycles, and more.
"Volunteers will provide their time and repair skills to diagnose and fix broken household items, sharing their knowledge with patrons so they too can become repairers.
"Past Repair Cafes have served 255 people, with volunteers attempting 96 repairs so far, with 53 completed and 20 partly completed, marking a success rate of 76%.
"The library says 260 pounds of trash have been saved from the landfill, with volunteers fixing scooters, cuckoo clocks, and even a Coleman camp stove.
"The event will also feature a #TakeItApartTable where children can experiment by taking apart items like laptops and coffee makers."

#RepairCafe starts #TechAmnesty to support #community
by Alexandra Bassingham, June 24, 2025
"A community project, which encourages people to bring in items to be fixed for free, has opened an amnesty point for unused #technology to be handed in and repurposed for others.
"The Repair Café, started by Biddy Hammond from Somerset, has helped hundreds of people since being set up in October 2023.
"It has two donation drop-ins a month, one in #BurnhamOnSea and the other in nearby #Highbridge. Items can also be donated at the information bureau on Burnham seafront.
"They now have almost 20 #volunteers, fixing items including #SoftToys, #upholstery, #electricals, and #clocks, which in turn, reduces items sent to #landfill sites.
"Ms Hammond said they are looking for an offer of a storage facility space so they can support the community even more
"Ms Hammond said it was after hearing a woman at a charity shop saying she could not afford to fix her iron, that she came up with the idea of opening a repair café.
" 'I thought it's such a simple thing to do to help people out and it's pointless buying a new whatever every five minutes, because items work for such a short while nowadays.'
"Repair Cafe volunteers also visit homes with a thermal imaging camera, to help people increase insulation with 'simple fixes in their homes like thicker curtains,' Ms Hammond added.
"She said after lockdown the repair cafe has built the community in quite a strong way, offering a service and a social space.
"Hugh Champion, one of the repair team, said: 'We have a good time, hopefully delight a few customers, and send them home with things they had written off that are back to working condition again.
" 'And people are so delighted when you help them fix something especially when it has high sentimental value,' he added."
