Fixfest is a regular global gathering of repairers, 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 September 2025 in London.

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

What happened at Fixfest 2025?

In September 2025, over 220 repairers, organisers, activists, researchers, businesses, and policymakers met in London for a weekend of sharing skills, knowledge, experience and stories. Together we strengthened our truly international community committed to nurturing, expanding and advocating for repair around the world.
