FixFest

About FixFest

After launching in 2025, FixFest 2027 returns to Delapré Abbey, Northampton on Saturday 10 July as a music festival spanning rock, indie rock, dance/electronic, retro/party and tribute bookings.

The event began at the South of England Showground in West Sussex before moving to Northampton in 2026. Its brief is narrow by design: an outdoor summer festival for tradespeople, part live music event and part trade exhibition.

Lineup and Programme

Announced acts include Ocean Colour Scene and Sigma, with Hard-Fi also on the bill. Goldie Lookin Chain, Rhythm of the 90s and BADNESS (Madness Tribute) are listed too.

The named stages are the Main Stage and The Showring. The Baxi Powerhouse Tent is also listed for the site.

Away from the band bill, the programme includes trade exhibition stands, JCB Dancing Diggers displays, speed carving competitions, UK’s Strongest Man van-lifting challenges, a silent disco warm-up, bucket drumming workshops, a tool theft zone, family play areas and games, a food and drink village and fairground rides.

Who Is It For?

FixFest is pitched at tradespeople and the construction industry, with families and children welcomed.

There is no age restriction for entry. Under-14s require a ticket, under-18s cannot enter the bar area, and bars run Challenge 25.

The Venue and Site

Delapré Abbey sits on London Road (A508) in Northampton, inside Delapré Park. Organisers describe the setting as a 500-acre landscape.

Limited camping for tents and campervans uses the abbey’s South Lawn. Caravans are excluded, campervans have no electric hook-up, and the campsite has toilets and water points but no shower blocks.

Site facilities include toilets, medical and welfare facilities, disabled toilets, an accessible viewing platform and Blue Badge accessible parking. Food provision includes vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, with free tap water on site.
