Fermanagh and Omagh Fixes!
Our ‘Environment For All’ Programme is hosting a Repair Café Taster Event at the ARC Healthy Living Centre, Enniskillen.
Got a favourite item of clothing that needs a little TLC, or a bicycle that could do with some attention? Bring it along to our Repair Café Taster Event and see if we can help get it back into use, for free! The event is a chance to experience what a Repair Café is all about, see what it could look like in your community and discover how it can bring people together, share practical skills and help repair items that might otherwise be thrown away.
Date: Wednesday 14 October 2026
Location: ARC Healthy Living Centre, Enniskillen
Time: 2.30pm–6.30pm
We’ll have sewing and bicycle repair facilitators on hand, so you’re welcome to bring one clothing or textile item, or one bicycle, per person for them to assess and, where possible, repair. While your item is being worked on, you can have a chat with the repairers, ask questions and pick up some practical tips along the way.
Drop-in repairs are welcome! Repairs will depend on the condition of the item, the type of repair required and the time available, so repairs cannot be guaranteed. You don’t need to bring an item to attend. Whether you’re simply curious about the idea, want to learn more about repairing and reusing, or are interested in starting a Repair Café in your own community, we’d be delighted to see you.
Interested in starting a Repair Café?
Community groups can also arrange a one-to-one chat with Repair Café NI to discuss what would be involved in getting started in your community. To register your interest, please complete the form by Friday 9 October 2026, and we’ll be in touch to arrange a suitable time. The form is for community group discussions only.
Register your interest via Jotform
