National Recycling Week- Fix it Clinic with Upcycle Newcastle

Upcycle Newcastle textile and soft toy repair clinic

To support National Recycling Week (11th-17th November), Marketown will be hosting a textile and soft toy fix-it clinic on Saturday 16th November.

Upcycle Newcastle will be on hand on the day to make minor repairs to textile household & fashion items and soft toys.

The objective of the fix-it clinic is to raise awareness of fixing textile items rather than throwing them into landfill.

TIME:  10:00am-2:00pm
WHERE: Level 1, Marketown East near BIG W.
