Join Antrim and Newtownabbey’s Reuse and Repair Fayre
Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council is inviting residents and visitors to extend the life of their cherished items and reduce waste by coming along to the Reuse and Repair Fayre at Lilian Bland Pavilion, Glengormley on Wednesday, June 3 from 12noon to 4pm.
The event offers a unique opportunity to bring your broken or damaged items for repair, offering free bike check-ups and simple repairs, tips and tricks for mending clothes, small electrical repairs, a fermentation workshop (registration recommended), bulb planting, free trade tea and coffee and lots more.
This community-focused event promotes sustainability, encouraging everyone to make repairs, rather than discarding items. It’s the perfect chance to contribute to building a greener, more sustainable community while also learning valuable repair skills.
The Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Leah Kirkpatrick said: “Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to extend the life of your belongings, reduce waste, and experience the satisfaction of giving treasured items a second chance. From repairing a favourite sweater to fixing up a bicycle, our skilled repairers will be on hand to help. We look forward to seeing you there!”
This event is part of Northern Ireland’s Reuse and Repair Week 2026 which runs from May 30 to June 6.
