- Fixfest

Fixfest is a regular global gathering of repairers and tinkerers, activists, policy-makers, thinkers, educators and companies from all over the world. We meet every couple of years. The most recent international Fixfest was in October 2022 in Brussels.

Between international Fixfest gatherings, national Fixfests are often organised too.

Thanks for coming to Fixfest UK 2023!

Following successful editions in 2018 and 2020, Fixfest UK made a return in September 2023. Over 100 people gathered in Cardiff to talk about how to (re-)normalise repair in the UK and strengthen our national movement.

Fixfest 2022 was a chance for the global repair community to exchange ideas, stories, experiences and skills. Nearly 150 of us met in Brussels to strengthen our truly international community committed to nurturing, expanding and advocating for repair around the world.
