The “unforgettable” Wye Float river and music festival is back and set to take place this August.

The festival will be held at Hereford Rugby Club on August 10, 2024, and day kicks off at 11am with the inflatable river float adventure along the Wye starting at noon, while live music will be keeping the party alive until 11.30pm.

Leading up to the event, the Wye Float river and music festival received £5000 from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

This funding has played a crucial role in amplifying the festival's impact, allowing organisers to reach a broader audience and positively influence our local community.

“We're proud to showcase the finest local musical talent with a diverse line-up of bands and solo artists that guarantees something for everyone to enjoy,” said Darren Mason of the festival organising committee.

"We're committed to making a lasting impact on our community. We invite you to volunteer with us; we seek individuals to help us with stewarding, river safety, music and production, event promotion, and river clean-ups. Through regular clean-ups of the river Wye, we aim to make it more accessible and safer for all users. Your participation is crucial in making this event a success and in creating a stronger, more connected community."
