Port Fairy Repair Café is a free event held monthly, run by the community for the community.
We open on the third Saturday of each month (except for December and January), and run from 10am – 12pm at Port Fairy Community House , Railway Place Port Fairy.
Visitors are given the opportunity to bring their broken item from home. Together with the volunteer ‘fixer’, they start making their repairs. It’s an ongoing learning process fostering concepts of sustainability, community and skill-sharing.
Repair Cafes bring many benefits: they extend the life of items that would likely end up in landfill, they pass on valuable fixing skills and knowledge ie FIY (fix-it-yourself), they are a great antidote to the ‘throw it out and get a new one’ way of thinking, and they are fabulous social and networking events.
Please check our Facebook page for details of each event, as we have different fixers at each event, and bookings are recommended.
