Dublin Maker

Free Tickets are now available for our first ever Repair Summit! Join us at the Rediscovery Centre on Saturday 28 November for a day of learning and sharing. We’ll celebrate the joys of repair, share practical tips on running a repair café, and hear about the networks that make it all happen.
