App Fest UK

App Fest UK 2025 date is tbc.

App Fest UK is located at Hillworth Farm, Yardbridge, Longdon Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, GL20 6AX.

While some food & drink is permitted in the campsite, it is not permitted to take food or drink from the campsite into the arena. Exceptions are an empty water bottle for filling within the arena, or a sealed water bottle with an original shop-bought seal.

 

No food is to be brought into the arena, but there will be an array of food stalls available on site, catering to lots of tastes and preferences. The only exception to this rule is for those with severe dietary needs which cannot be managed on site. If you believe that you have severe dietary needs, then please email info@app-fest.co.uk and they will grant special permission if appropriate. 

 

While there will be a rough guide to the running order and schedule for the acts, this can be subject to change on the day and of course natural variation as things overrun, or if there are issues with the weather or technical performances. On Thursday, the music starts from 17.00pm and continues throughout the weekend. Typically, the headliner finishes on the main stage around 11pm each day.

 

There will be a funfair, bouncy castles, inflatable assault courses etc. to keep all ages entertained.

All bars are cashless and payment will be made by contactless card through a secured 5G Wi-Fi network. Other food and craft vendors may offer cash or card payment options.

The bars will be charging £1.50 per festival cup on your first purchase. You must keep these cups with you at all times to avoid further charges. You can swap them at the bars if you need to. These will remain your property after the event as a memento of your time at App Fest UKt. As a gesture of goodwill there will be a special promotion on future tickets where you will get the value of your festival cup off future ticket pricing therefore for loyal festival goers the festival cup will be paid back to you.

Dogs are allowed with a valid dog pass bought with your ticket.

1. Dogs must be kept on the lead at all times

2. All dog mess but be cleared up straight away and put in the bins provided.

 

App Fest UK and/or any Authorised Person may refuse entry to the venue to any Ticket Holder and their dog, or remove a Ticket Holder from the Venue with their dog that App Fest UK and/or any Authorised Person deem to be unruly or behaving in any way that is not appropriate to the event and venue, or who fouls the Venue.

 

Any Ticket Holder who brings a dog into the venue is wholly responsible for the wellbeing and behaviour and all actions of their dog and takes full responsibility for all actions, injury, death, losses, costs, claims, expenses, and damages caused by their dog, whether in breach of these conditions or not and the Ticket Holder indemnifies us for any injury death losses costs claims expenses and damages as a result of their animal causing the same.

 

App Fest UK accept no liability whatsoever so far as they are able to exclude for all actions of the Ticket Holder’s dog at the venue.

 

Skiddle advises that you are mindful of your dogs' sensitive hearing at all times and that you NEVER, EVER leave your dog in either your car or your live-in vehicle or your tent unattended, or your vehicle may be damaged to release your dog and the dog confiscated by animal welfare.

Unfortunately we can’t issue you with a refund if you can’t make the event due to work commitments or your mates have dropped out. In these circumstances, we advise passing on your tickets privately to avoid losing out on the money spent. Refunds can only be offered if the event is cancelled or postponed, as agreed upon purchase.

 

Day ticket is valid for the daytime performances and then you are expected to be offsite by the end of the day. Roughly, this will equate to 11am in the morning to 23.30 in the evening, although this will be advised in full closer to the festival when the line-up has been finalised. This system will be policed using coloured wristbands and the security team reserves the right to escort daytime attendees offsite in line with your ticket purchase.

No. Your teen ticket purchase will need to be made using an adult ticket account, and the adult purchasing your ticket will take full responsibility for that purchase.

You can show your ticket on a smartphone and we recommend bringing your reference numbers with you in case they need to look your tickets up.

Yes, children 3 and over will need a child's ticket for App Fest UK. Please see the ticket page for prices. 

Unfortunately, no. For reasons of health and safety, App Fest UK can’t manage individual arrivals and departures on the campsite for one night only. They have, however, tried to make the full weekend price very affordable for four days of music and camping. We advise that you buy a weekend pass, then they can allocate you a camping pitch on site, and you can turn up at a time and day to suit you for example missing the Thursday, or leaving early on the Sunday.

 

Day tickets are reserved for daytime attendance only and we will require you to be offsite by the end of the day. If you choose to buy day tickets for multiple days, you will be expected to stay overnight elsewhere, before returning in the morning.

No. App Fest UK is one of the most affordable tickets in the country with some brilliant acts for a great low price, especially if you grab an early bird bargain/ You will need a full day pass, although you can come and go as you please.

App Fest UK ask that there is one paying adult per child under 9, to ensure on site health and safety. For children aged between 9 and 15, a maximum of two per paying adult is requested.

In theory, yes, but only if there are tickets available. App Fest UK have deliberately made their festival quite small to allow an intimate feel without crowding. This means they have very strict numbers for their license, and it is highly likely that it will be a sell-out as it is every year. If there are tickets left, they will be available on the day, but there is no guarantee of availability and they will be a slightly higher price too. We recommend purchasing a ticket at the early bird price to give you the flexibility to come and go as you please, without the full ticket price.

Camping will open from midday on Thursday, and the music will start at 5pm.

The exact location, layout, and distances will be available in due course, however the general answer is “not far”. App Fest UK is a small festival with a limited number of tickets, located on a lovely rural farm site. The camping will be sited far enough away to be quiet enough to sleep, but close enough that you aren’t walking miles. There will also be a drop-off point closer to the camping and festival sites for those with mobility needs.

As App Fest UK is based on a rural farm and not on a converted campsite, the facilities are limited. There will be toilets, showers, lighting, running water, bins, and security, but no individual electricity points for motorhomes. Please make sure you plan for this before attending the festival.

Yes, they have some motorhome pitches available on site, but please note this is a farm location and not a campsite so there are not electricity points available. Due to the site suitability, these pitches are limited, so we advise booking early to secure a space for your motorhome. Please note, awnings and motorhome extensions are only permitted if they fit in the 8m x 5m pitch size.

If you have purchased a camping ticket you must bring your own tent. There are no hire tents available.

 

Logistically, this is almost impossible to manage, so pitches will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis, apart from those people who have notified us of particular access needs. Camping will be done in two main areas: a Motorhome, caravan and live in vehicle area, and a tented area. 

 

Unfortunately, there isn’t space for parking or drop-off next to your tent. You will need to park in the carpark and walk to your pitch with your belongings. 

The exact location, layout, and distances will be available in due course, however the general answer is “not far”. App Fest UK is a small festival with a limited number of tickets, located on a lovely rural farm site. The camping pitches will be located within easy walking of the parking and there will be drop-off options for those with additional mobility needs. Cars will not be permitted in the actual camping area due to Health and Safety.

There is a £10 flat fee per vehicle for the festival. This is the same whether you come for one day or four days.

You can bring a reasonable amount of food & drink onsite into the camping area only, appropriate to the number of people on your booking. Please be sensible as the campsite has no electric facilities and you will not be able to plug in a mini fridge, so any food should be non-refrigerated. Please do not bring excess food onto the campsite as it may be confiscated. With regards to alcohol drinks, bring no more than a reasonable amount per person over 18.

 

Please note, glass bottles, glass containers and any form of glass will not be permitted on site at any time.

 

BBQs are also not allowed - this is a working farm and, to comply with fire safety risk assessment, BBQs (disposable or otherwise), fire pits, candles, and any item with a naked flame are not permitted onsite.
