Come along this year to the ♻️Zero Waste Festival Sat 12th Sep 2026 12-6pm!
🧰We are having a pop up Repair Cafe and Mending Circle!

Pre-register your item here: https://events.humanitix.com/zero-waste-festival-2026

📍We will be opening up some more spots in the next few days so please join the waitlist at the link above. We can also accept some walk ins on the day depending on how busy it is. Letting us know beforehand what you're bringing with lots of detail, helps us bring the right tools on the day!

ℹ️There will be plenty of fun and interesting talks/ activities to enjoy! We will also have an information table to help explain a bit more about what repair cafes are and how they work.

We're looking forward to seeing you there! ♻️

More than just a festival, this is a celebration of sustainable living, innovative waste reduction, and community connection.

Thank you to everyone who came to our Repair Cafe in July and August! ♻️

📆In July we assessed 46 items and 26 were fully repaired!
12 items were partially repaired*
Together these items weighed 73.86kgs!

📈In August we assessed 47 items and 31 were fully repaired!
6 items were partially repaired*
Together these items weighed 67.21kgs!

*Partial repairs are items that have been assessed, opened, or attempted and may need a new replacement part or special tool. New parts can be brought to the next event so the repair can be completed! If the repair is beyond our skills we may have given advice on where to take it for professional repair.
