About FixFest
Part trade expo, part country fair, part music festival, FixFest is the UK’s only festival for tradespeople and their families. Our FixFest values and ambitions match those of our radio station.
Sponsored by Wickes TradePro and debuting in Sussex in 2025 before a move of site to Northampton for our 2026 follow-up, acts so far have included (qualified plasterer) Dizzee Rascal, Ocean Colour Scene, Scouting For Girls, Sigma, Hard-Fi, Goldie Lookin’ Chain, Toploader, and more.
The festival has also included attractions such as The JCB Dancing Diggers, UK’s Strongest Man demos, Diggerland, chainsaw tree sculpting, a vast array of fun activities in the family zone, and dozens of tradestands. We also have three discussion zones that focus on key issues in the construction industry - The Bosch Inspiration and Innovation Zone, the Baxi Powerhouse (wellbeing & mental health), and the Wickes TradePro Tool Theft zone, each designed to provide educational and informative content to inspire our industry family.

FixFest 2026 Aftermovie
What We’re Looking For
A creative, commercially-minded organic social media content executive to execute our strategy to take FixFest’s social audience to the next level. This is not a role for someone who simply schedules posts. We’re looking for someone who understands what makes our audience stop scrolling, have an emotional response, and want to comment, share, and follow.
Who can turn that understanding into a consistent stream of entertaining, relevant, and highly shareable content. Adapting to different “sub sets” of our festival audience, and ultimately helping to turn social attention into ticket sales and event participation.
Reporting to the Head of Marketing, you will take on the key responsibilities outlined below.
Key Responsibilities
- To significantly grow reach and engagement for the FixFest Meta channels.
- To launch and build an audience for a FixFest TikTok channel from the ground up.
- To create a consistent stream of graphic and video-based content.
- To respond to audience engagement and messages in our “tone of voice”.
- To ultimately help drive ticket sales for our 2027 event.
- To post intensive content across our actual festival day created by a wider content team.
- To track engagement metrics & growth.
- The 2027 date for the event is Saturday July 10th at Delapre Abbey in Northampton, and you will be required to be part of the event's social media content team on the day.
