Glenravel Repair Cafe was founded by Glenravel and District Community and Residents Association and launched in 2026. Our cross-community group runs a number of thriving community projects, including a men’s shed, community garden, a youth club and regular events out of our community hub, a former credit union building in Martinstown, eight north of Ballymena on the edge of the Glens of Antrim. 

We will be running Repair Cafes every 3 months for the areas of Martinstown, Cargan, Newtowncrommelin and Clough, but everyone from the surrounding areas are more than welcome to join us too. We will be holding events in different venues in the locality to allow people to get to us more easily.

We offer electrical, sewing, jewellery, tool and knife sharpening, bike and other general repairs at our events. We are always looking for more fixers and volunteers to help us, so if you feel this is for you please do get in touch.
