Mend In Public Day 2026

Bristol's Slow fashion collective have come together to bring you a city wide mending event.

Now in its third year, Fashion Revolution’s annual Mend in Public Day is a day of collective action to highlight the importance of caring for the clothes we already have, rather than buying more. It encourages seasoned repairers and beginners alike to get out into our communities and experience the joys of bringing our favourite items back to life, while keeping clothing out of landfill.

Join us at one of the following venues:

St. Andrew’s Park with Weaving Change, 10:00-13:00 / third.grew.invite

Windmill Hill City Farm with Making Mends, 10:00-12:00 / orbit.train.pines

St.George Park (meet at The Bake Box Cafe) with ReThrindle and Rebel Patch 10:00–13:00 / spite.finds.reduce

Afghan Tasty Corner with shika Otalu , 2:00-6:00

Alongside mend-ins across the city, Not Buying It will be hosting a DIY badge and bag charm session at the Slow Fashion Studio inside < u>Sparks< /u>. All materials will be provided to help you switch up your style without buying new.

No need to book - just come by and join in!

This is not a taught workshop, more a communal space to mend together - please bring along your well loved items and anything you will need to repair with.
