"Wow! What an event we had, music, fun, dancing and all the seasons in one day!"

Coming to Dunmow again on Saturday 20th June 2026!!

We decided after GDSS 2023 not to interfere with the Dunmow Flitch Trials 2024 and so the next GDSS event was always going to be in 2025.

However, the uncertainty surrounding the construction of the Dunmow MUGA being built at the Recreation Ground has forced us to have a rethink.

So without further ado we are very pleased to announce the next GDSS Music Festival will be on Saturday 20th June 2026!!

Whilst we are disappointed not to be able to stage the event in 2025, we are looking forward to staging a bigger and even better event in 2026!

All best! The GDSS Festival Organising Committee.
