Join us on Saturday 18 Oct 2025 at the Artizan Street Library & Community Centre to learn how to fix and repair your clothes - for FREE!
As part of International Repair Day, the City of London's Recycling Team are joining forces with Sunny Jar Eco Hub to host a variety of clothing repair workshops. We will be repairing and adorning clothing in beautiful but practical ways. Come join us and we will help you fix those pesky holes, stains and tears.
