What is the Knox Repair Cafe?
The Repair Café concept began in the Netherlands in 2009 and has since grown to a global movement of over 1,400 repair cafes operating worldwide.
The Knox Repair Café offers repair sessions where volunteer fixers show you how to fix your broken or torn things.
Wherever possible, volunteer repairers take the time to explain the repair process, to share their knowledge and skills with participants. All donations are used to cover costs, purchase tools and materials.
If you would like an item to be looked at, please book a time on the Knox Repair Cafe Facebook page.
