The Heritage Repair Station was a project designed to build the small but growing repair movement in Ōtepoti Dunedin and also to integrate it into the wider concept of heritage preservation. Members of the public were invited to bring along their clothes in need of mending, broken appliances and old technology where local specialists; Stitch Kitchen and Re:Gear Library provided their expert help. The Free Shop was also on site to share their collection of items where many an outfit was updated for free!

Heritage Repair Station was part of the Dunedin Heritage Festival.
