Repair Cafe Belfast started in 2017, the first community repair group in Northern Ireland. We hold monthly events at venues across the city and so far we have looked at more than 2,000 items and fixed over 4.5 tonnes of stuff for the people of Belfast. 

We usually offer the following types of repairs: electrical, IT, sewing, bike, woodwork, clocks and general/other. We’re often joined by our friends from Tool for Solidarity, who offer tool sharpening and sewing machine repairs. Visitors stay with their items to meet their fixer and see what the repairs involve. 

We use a booking system to help our events run smoothly – tickets are released a couple of weeks before each event and you can see if any upcoming events are open for booking here. 

Our cafe and repairs are offered on a “pay-as-you-feel” basis – there is no fixed charge and you are welcome to donate on the day or at the link below to help us cover our costs. If you are interested in hosting Repair Cafe Belfast at your space, drop us an email.

Repair Cafe Belfast is run by volunteers and we always welcome new people to our friendly team. We are particularly looking for electrical/IT fixers, bakers and help with organising and publicity. Fill in our enquiry form below and one of our team will be in touch shortly.
