Join us for a community repair event! The Repair Fair is a fun way to learn about repair, save money, and keep things from going into the trash. Handy volunteers will be on site to help you figure out and possibly fix your broken items.

 

Let us know you’re coming + grab a free ticket above!

The event is free to attend, but repairers may charge their own rates for repairs.

 

What to Expect:

When you arrive, you will check in at Perennial’s front desk. Whether or not you bring an item to be repaired, we welcome you to roam about the fair’s various Repair Stations to learn about different repairs. If you’ve brought an item to be repaired, you will be directed to the appropriate Repair Station where you will wait for the volunteer to assess your item. Volunteers can spend up to 30 minutes repairing a single item. If the volunteer estimates that your repair will take longer than 30 minutes, they may offer to complete the repair for pick up at a later date, encourage you to continue the repair at home, or refer you to a repair shop. We can’t guarantee that any or all of your items will be repaired at the event, and as with all repairs, there is a slight chance your item could be damaged in the process. But that doesn’t mean we won’t give it our best shot!

 

What can I bring to be repaired?

Damaged items, or pictures of damaged items, that you are not sure how to repair!

The Repair Station list is still in the works, but take a look at past stations for ideas of what you could bring:

  • Leather Repair
  • Bike Repair
  • Electronic Repair
  • Jewelry Repair
  • Clothing Repair
  • Wood Item + Furniture Repair

 

How many broken items can I bring?

You are welcome to bring multiple items to be repaired; however, to reduce the wait time for each attendee, one broken item per person will be examined at a time. If there is time after your first repair for another item, you will jump to the end of the line at the next (or the same) Repair Station.

 

What is NOT accepted?
  • Items too large or heavy for one person to carry *If your item is too large, consider bringing in a photo.
  • Items containing hazardous and/or flammable materials
  • Unwashed clothing

If you’re looking to have an unusual item repaired, email events@perennialstl.org with a description + a picture to see if we can help you out.

We can’t wait to see you there!
