About GemFest
-
Gemfest, the latest project from Wales’ largest dance music label, PullUp Recordings, lands in Ross-On-Wye this June.
-
GemFest takes place over the third weekend of June between 14th - 16th June 2024.
-
On a small, eight-acre potato field (no potatoes by the time you all arrive unfortunately!) in Ross-On-Wye, Herefordshire.
The easiest address to find Gemfest is Great Howle Farm, Howle Hill, Ross-On-Wye, HR9 5SL, England, or type GemFest into Google Maps. Look for the Windmill…
-
The gates open on Friday 14th June at 12pm, and the music will start at 2pm. The gates will re-open on Saturday 15th June at 10am and the music will start at 11am.
-
The site needs to be vacated by midday on Sunday 16th June. Please make sure you are all packed up and on your way home by then.
-
Yes, this is absolutely fine! You can leave at anytime but this must be by Car or Shuttle Bus (within shuttle bus operating hours). Walking is strictly forbidden due to the highway that runs outside of the event site. You will be given a wristband that will be used for re-entry, you cannot bring any alcohol in upon re-entry and you will be subject to a search again. The gates will re-open at 12pm on Saturday 15th June.

Your name on your ticket must also match your ID. Acceptable ID can be either Passport, Driving Licence or ID card bearing the PASS hologram.

GemFest is a strictly over 18's event. All attendees are ID'ed upon entry.
