Wickes TradePro Members Get Early Access To FixFest 2025

Wickes is proud to be the headline sponsor of FixFest, the UK’s first-ever music festival dedicated to people in the trade and construction industry and their families. Taking place at the South of England Showground on Saturday 30th August 2025, FixFest promises an electrifying lineup of Fix Radio’s best-loved artists, including Dizzee Rascal, Scouting for Girls, Toploader, The Cuban Brothers, Noasis, and many more, creating an unforgettable day of music, networking, and celebration for professionals across the sector.

As part of this sponsorship, Wickes is offering its TradePro members an exclusive TradePro Reward, providing a special discount on tickets and priority presale access before they become available to the public. The presale runs from 24th - 28th February 2025, allowing Wickes TradePro members to secure their spot before general ticket sales open on Friday 28th February.

FixFest is more than just a festival, it is a unique opportunity to celebrate and support hardworking professionals in the industry. In addition to live performances from top artists, the event will feature a dedicated ‘Inspiration Zone’ focused on addressing the skills gap within the industry. This area will offer expert talks, advice, and guidance from leading professionals, with 500 construction college students invited to gain insights and inspiration. Attendees can also explore the latest tools, materials, and innovations at trade stands, while the Wellness Hub provides mental health resources and support, reinforcing FixFest’s commitment to the well-being of those in the industry.

We’re delighted to offer our Wickes TradePro members an exclusive discount, making this event even more accessible to the hardworking tradespeople who are at the heart of everything we do.”

With Wickes as our lead partner, we’re making FixFest bigger and better for the trade industry, and we can’t wait to welcome thousands of tradespeople to this one-of-a-kind event.”
