Repair & Share

  • Auckland Library of Tools 21 Newton Road Auckland, Auckland, 1010 New Zealand (map)

Have you got a broken toaster, a wonky lamp, or a beloved pair of jeans in need of some TLC? Don't toss them out just yet! Come join us at our Repair Café, where skilled volunteers are ready to help breathe new life into your cherished items.

Date: Saturday 29th March
Time: 11am - 2pm (last repairs accepted before 1.30pm)
Location: 21 Newton Rd, Grey Lynn
Parking: Available next door and side streets

Bring your small broken household items, torn clothing, damaged toys and more. Learn some new skills while sitting alongside one of our talented and dedicated repair volunteers.

Hang out, have a chat and enjoy a tea or a cup of freshly brewed coffee supplied by our generous local sponsors.

Koha is greatly appreciated to help us host future events, repair cafes & workshops.

Getting here:
Bus stops on Ponsonby Rd (InnerLink, 20, 105, 106, 866), Great North Rd (11T/W, 18, 20, 195), and Karangahape Rd (WX1)
We are also near the northwestern cycleway.
Parking is available next door or on side streets. There is no parking in front of ALoT/Hackland.

Some things to note:
∙ One item at a time please. You are welcome to bring a second item, and can check in that item after your first piece has been assessed/repaired.
∙ Make sure to come early, so you can get your item registered. Very last item will be accepted for repair 30 minutes before closing, considering items already waiting for repair.
∙ We don't work with microwaves.
∙ We do not do clothing alterations, only repairs and mending jobs.
∙ Have fun!

Repair & Share events are currently on an ad hoc basis, depending future funding, please read our update here for more info.
