- Library Makerspace, Edward Boyle
On the 1 July 2025 we are hosting a special Technicians Week Repair Café at Makerspace in Edward Boyle Library!
Share skills and work collaboratively with other technicians to fix your broken items and keep them in use. Bring your own item, or repair an item provided. Skilled volunteers will also be on hand.
Bring your broken items and collaborate on repairs, including:
- Clothes, shoes, textiles, and jewellery
- Phones, laptops, and tablets
- Small appliances (kettles, toasters, desk lamps)
- Music and audio equipment (amplifiers, speakers, etc.)
- Children’s toys
A Repair Café focuses on sharing the skills to repair your items. You will be able to make use of the facilities in the Makerspace, including a 3D printer, sewing machine and overlocker, soldering stations and hand tools. There is no cost to use the Repair Café although you may find you need to purchase parts for some repairs. Our volunteers will be able to advise you on anything you might need as well as helping you with repairs.
You can find Makerspace on the ground floor of Edward Boyle Library. Use your University ID card to enter the gates and turn left, and you'll see signs for Makerspace before the staircase.
No booking is required, just turn up any time between 1pm and 4 pm. If you have any questions then please email Chris Bowie.
