What began just as a 21st birthday party for 300 friends has grown into a full-scale, 8,000-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.
Charlton Park Estate is straight off the M4, just 15 minutes from Junction 17, with no country lanes.
The site is accessible by Chippenham train station. Shuttle buses will run from Chippenham station, which has direct trains from Bristol and London Paddington.
Everything and more is covered over on the GemFest website.
