What we’re about
TOG is a hackerspace based in Bluebell in Dublin. It is a shared space where members can have a place to be creative and work on their projects in an environment that is both inspiring and supportive of both new and old technologies. It is also a community of fellow minded hackers and makers with varied events for the public.
We have regular open events for visitors and these evenings are usually free to attend. They include lockpicking, coding, crafting, electronics, brewing, wikipedia editing and others. We hold a regular Open Social evening on about the 3rd Saturday of each month, when we just come in and hang out for the evening. We also collaborate on many external events like Repair Cafe and DublinMaker.
Come and visit. If you’ve never been in before, we’ll give you the grand tour of the space. Talk to members and visitors about projects or things you’d like to do. If you like what you see, ask about joining as a full member. Membership gives you 24/7 access to the space and all it's facilities, which includes 3D printers, laser cutter, workshop, classrooms with seating and projectors and a fully kitted out electronics lab. We also have eating and cooking facilities and off-street parking. There is also a great community spirit with ongoing community events.
To join us as a member, get to know us, then feel free to sign up for membership using our online form or ask for more information from any of our members.

January Repair Cafe
Location not specified yetBring your broken tech and trinkets to get them fixed by the skilled volunteers at TOG Hackerspace – with a bit of help from our friends at Dublin Maker!
On Sunday, 18 January 2026, between 12 pm and 4 pm, TOG Hackerspace will host the first Repair Cafe of the new year in our own space. At this event, volunteers will share their expertise and passion for repair, helping you fix your broken items and breathe new life into them. Whether it’s a malfunctioning gadget, a piece of clothing in need of mending, or a household item that’s seen better days, bring it along and let the team work their magic.
### What can you bring in?
- Clothes and accessories
- Toys
- Small electrical appliances and electronics
- Small furniture
… and many other things!
Safety testing (PAT) for electrical devices will be available.
### What happens at a repair cafe?
At the Repair Café, you sit down with a fixer and work together on your item. You can learn how to repair it yourself, or simply watch and learn from the volunteers while enjoying a tea or coffee. TOG members will also be on hand to give you a tour of the space while you wait.
It’s not a drop-off service – it’s a shared, social repair session. Even if something can’t be fixed, you’ll at least go home knowing what went wrong and what your options are.
### Why join a repair cafe?
Repair Cafés are a great way to support a circular economy, reduce waste, and extend the life of your belongings. Every successful repair keeps resources in use for longer, saves money, and keeps items out of the bin.
They’re also a lovely way to meet people, swap stories about well-loved objects, and pick up new skills in a relaxed setting.
