A event held at Sparks Bristol on Saturday 19th October. The event starts at 11:00.
October 19th is International Repair Day and the
Repairium at Sparks is celebrating by hosting a special one-day-only event, our first-ever Repair Party!
Celebrate R2R’s 15th year of Repair Cafes across Europe by joining our repair specialists for a selection of workshops and open demonstrations.
