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.

Repair Café At Leixlip Library
Leixlip Library, Captain’s Hill, Newtown, Leixlip, IEBring broken bits from home to Leixlip Library for a morning of repair, chat and climate action with volunteers from TOG Hackerspace.
On Saturday, 13 December 2025, from 10.00 to 13.00, Leixlip Library will host a Repair Café in partnership with TOG Hackerspace and the Kildare County Council Climate Action Office. Skilled volunteers will help you give worn and broken items another shot at life, instead of sending them to the landfill.
Multiple 30-minute slots run through the morning. Booking is through Leixlip Library, so contact the library desk or check the library website for full details.
What you can bring
• Clothes and accessories
• Toys
• Small electrical appliances and electronics
• Small furniture
If you are unsure about an item, bring it along on the day. Volunteers will take a look and see if a repair is possible. Safety testing (PAT) for electrical devices will be in place.
What happens at a Repair Café
You arrive with an item, sign in, then wait for a fixer to free up. A volunteer sits down with you, opens things up, and talks through options. You get to see how the repair works, ask questions, and pick up a few skills for next time.
The aim is not a drop-off service. It is a shared repair session where everyone learns something, has a chat, and heads home with more confidence and, hopefully, a working item.
Why take part
Repair Cafés support a circular economy in a simple, local way. Every item repaired keeps resources in use for longer, cuts waste, and saves money. Events like this also build up local skills and give people a chance to share knowledge across the community.
