Free repair and reuse events this winter
Here in Islington there are a whole host of free events throughout winter aimed at helping you to breathe new life into your much-loved possessions! From repair and reuse fairs, furniture and textile workshops to fashion forward clothe swaps, there’s something for everyone.
Islington Fixers Repair Party
Saturday 6 December 12pm–4pm
Finsbury Library, 245 St John St, London EC1V 4NB
Need a hand with fixing your broken electricals and electronics? The Islington Fixers are here to help! This event focusses on skill-sharing – so as well as getting your items fixed, you’ll also play an active role in the repair itself so that you can learn the skills to carry out your own repairs in the future.
