Key Information & FAQs

  • What began just three years ago as a 21st birthday party for 300 friends has grown into a full-scale, 5,000-capacity festival - still built and run by the same group of friends who care deeply about music, connection and community.

    GemFest is an independent grassroots music festival, created by PullUp Recordings - Wales’ largest dance music label - and celebrates the full spectrum of underground music: house, UKG, jungle, drum & bass, techno and beyond. Every detail is crafted by a small, passionate team who truly live and breathe the festival.

    Set in the stunning grounds of Charlton Park Estate, just outside the market town of Malmesbury - with its rolling fields, lime tree avenues, and a historic mansion built in 1607 - GemFest blends music, history and nature to create a truly unique experience in the fields.

Info

  • Parking is available in the festival car park with a valid pre-purchased Parking Pass which is available to purchase via the Add-Ons of our tickets page.

    Arriving without a pre-purchased parking ticket may delay your entry as you will be directed to purchase one on arrival.

    All vehicles (excluding drop-off) must be parked in the designated long-stay car park.

  • Direct trains run from London Paddington and Bristol to Chippenham Station. From there, we run a Shuttle Bus service that will operate to and from the festival site.

    Tickets may be available to buy at the shuttle bus pick-up point, but this is subject to availability and bus capacity. You should not rely on buying a ticket at the pick-up point - if the bus is full, you will need to wait for the next available service.

    Pre-arranging your transport is strongly advised to ensure a smooth arrival and departure. 

    Important: 

    • Pick-ups or drop-offs on the outer public roads surrounding Charlton Park Estate are strictly prohibited.

    • Walking into or out of the site on foot is not permitted due to fast-moving 60mph roads and safety risks.

    • Anyone collecting or dropping off must use the official Pick-Up & Drop-Off Zone only.

  • Entry and departure MUST NOT be on foot. It is strictly prohibited due to the 60mph roads surrounding Charlton Park Estate. Please arrange vehicle pick-up and drop-off at the Pick-Up & Drop-Off Zone or utilise our Shuttle Bus Service.
