Orewa Repair Café
April 5 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm NZDT
|Recurring Event (See all)
An event every month that begins at 11:00 am on day First of the month, repeating until 6 December, 2025

What is a Repair Café?
Bring your broken or damaged items and local volunteers will fix them for you for FREE. The idea behind a Repair Café is to encourage the concept of Repair-Renew-Reuse.
Our volunteer repairers are ready to help repair your items such as:
– Smaller furniture pieces that need to be repaired
– Bikes that need to be serviced
– Toys
– Clothing that needs fixing and darning and patching
– Small appliances (note: we are not able to repair microwaves due to safety measures)
– Laptops and other electronics






If you are happy with your repair, a donation/koha is gratefully received to help fund future Repair Cafés.
