Dashville is a secluded bushland venue located within Wonnarua land, at Lower Belford in the Hunter Valley, NSW. Over the last 17 or so years, the Johnston family, led by the rather energetic son Matt 'Magpie' and the help of many, have worked tirelessly to turn a natural bush paddock into a beautiful outdoor arena and camping area all based around his desire for live music events. The long running boutique music and art event The Gum Ball the largest event at the site with around 3000 campers, was first held in 2005 and is respected as one of Australia's greatest boutique music festivals. A glorious achievement to establish a grass roots festival, it goes without saying that a monumental amount of blood sweat and tears has gone into such an achievement. Based on the slow sustainable growth of these Dashville run events, various facilities have been afforded at the site, such as showers, underground power, shelters, toilets, bars, light towers, roads etc which now allow other events to happen much easier. There is also a 22ft wide x 5tf high skateboard ramp at the site. The camping scenario is all natural clean flat bush land and accessible for wheelchairs. If you would like to consider Dashville as a venue for your next public or private function, then please feel free to drop us a line for further info.
