About FixFest

Produced by Fix Radio, the builder’s station, FixFest is the UK’s only outdoor summer festival celebrating you, the incredible ladies and gentlemen that make up our country’s construction industry.

We exist to “make someone’s day” and to make you and those around you, proud of the industry you call yours!

“Make some noise for fu**in’ FixFest yeah?
They spent money tonight!
And big up Wickes yeah?!
Wickes sponsorship!
Wow! Is it New Years Eve?!”

We launched in 2025, debuting at the South of England Showground in West Sussex.
Part music festival, part trade exhibition.

Thousands of you came from all over the country (including as far away as Edinburgh, the Isle of Man and Newcastle Upon Tyne) with your workmates and families to enjoy an incredible day of inspiring industry discussions, trade stands, have a go experiences, brand showcases, and an incredible music line up. Plus of course loads of laughs and a fair few beers!

Despite the challenging weather, the atmosphere you generated was incredible. But then again, no industry community is built to withstand the rain more than you guys!

And you weren’t slow in telling us how much you loved it!

“(FixFest) was a great family event and you should be proud of yourselves. Really hope you do it again”

"Thank you for a great event! I thought Clive's speech was inspirational and really made myself and our team proud to be a tradesperson"

"Just a massive well done, great 1st attempt and because of this, even I now listen to FixRadio!"

"Well done we thought it was ace even with the rain. The atmosphere, the people, the music were all class"

“One of the best festivals I have been to in an age!! From the get-go, a welcome at the gate from the organiser, followed immediately by being swamped with freebies galore from Trade store stools!! Not bad for the first five minutes”

“The atmosphere was far more relaxed than many festivals I have been too, a real 'family' vibe as not only all the family were welcome, but all were of the 'family' being Trade!! All like minded, chilled and ready to relax and have fun”

"Had a fantastic time, the weather didn't even matter in the end. The fireworks were unbelievable and Dizzee Rascal smashed it out of the park"

"My colleagues, my family and I had so much fun. I haven’t stopped telling the colleagues that didn’t attend how much they missed out"

So what’s new for 2026?
