Hacker & Maker Events in Dublin 12

Welcome to lockpicking at Tog.

Join us as we teach the various methods of picking and bypassing common locks in Ireland.

All equipment provided.

Warm clothes reccomended as the heating isnt the best.

Are you a beginner fursuit maker who wants to learn the craft? Are you into electronics and want to figure out how to make your LED strips emit custom patterns? Or maybe you want to talk on the radio with your fluffy friends? No matter how big or small, fluffy or simple the project is, bring it in to us for a social, fluffy event for all cats, dogs, wolves, foxes, and even protogens or any other species known.
All you need to take part is an idea that you want to bring to life.
The furry maker night will run every first week of the month.

This is not a taught class, more like an informal working group of self-directed makers.

While you can bring your fursuit in, either to work on it as a project or for repairs, it is heavily discouraged to wear them inside the space. Accessories such as tails are also discouraged for safety reasons.
We are looking forward to seeing every fur in our space.

Drop in to our regular Open Social for a great alternative Saturday evening. It's a great informal way to see the space and meet members and visitors.

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 that you’d like to do. If you like what you see, ask about joining as a full member. Membership brings many benefits. Weather and volunteer permitting, we might have our wood fired pizza oven going outside!

Expect caint, ceol agus craic as usual. The space stays open until the last member is left……usually the small hours of Sunday morning. You can drop in for 10 minutes, or stay the whole night. We have lots of free parking available. Bring beer, food, gadgets!

Do you have broken stuff lying around at home? Clothes, Small Appliances, Toys or Electronics? Bring them to our Repair Cafe to be fixed!

Bring your broken tech and trinkets to get them fixed by the skilled volunteers at TOG Hackerspace!

In 2026, we have partnered with the fantastic makers and fixers over at TOG to bring a series of community Repair Cafes to various locations across Dublin. On Saturday, the 11th of April, between 12 and 4pm, TOG Hackerspace will host the second café of the year!

At this event, the skilled volunteers at TOG 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 TOG 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 can learn how to repair the item yourself, or watch and learn from the fantastic volunteers while enjoying a tea or coffee. TOG members will also be on hand to give you a tour while you wait!

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.
