FIRE IN THE MOUNTAIN 2025 HAS SOLD OUT OF TICKETS
DON’T JUMP THE FENCE - SIT ON IT FOR A YEAR
We have no more space for tents, cars and vans.
Please do NOT try to come to the festival if you don’t have a ticket, or are on the crew for this year’s festival. If you do try to enter without a ticket, you will jeopardise the future of the festival. We also don't have any more space for cars or tents.
Fire in the Mountain is a community focused not for profit festival which we intentionally keep small and intimate - we are not about profit or money, but rather community and the land. All our surplus money in reinvested to renovate the farm and improve the event.
We are concerned there is a significant buzz about the festival (which is very flattering) and that tickets have sold out earlier than ever, and many of you might not have a ticket. Please come next year and buy your tickets early next time. They do in sale 1st December.
To be on the safe side we will be doing random wristband checks every day, and those without wristbands will be asked by our security to leave. This is to protect the future of the festival for the wider community.
If our numbers go over this year, we will not be able to run the event next year. We ask for your patience and support.
There are many many other lovely festivals this summer with tickets still available; Knockengoroch, Seeker, Green Gathering, Smugglers, Fanny's Meadow, Moseley Folk Festival - where you can see all the bands playing at our event.
2026 dates will be 29th - 31st May, if all goes well this year :)

Information on Tickets
Locals tickets
Tickets will be available from Andy’s records in Aberystwyth. The store is open from midday to 6pm (closed Wednesday and Sunday). These tickets are not transferable. Refunds available from boxoffice@fireinthemountain.co.uk and proof of address will be required on arrival. These tickets are for people local to Aberystwyth and your postcode will be recorded at the time of purchase.
Neighbours
Our neighbours (within 1 mile) can collect their tickets from the farm from the Easter holidays onwards. Note we are no longer offering discounted tickets to residents outside our immediate vicinity.
Limited Kids Tickets
We love kids and love having them at our festival, but we just can’t have too many. We issue 150 kids tickets to crew, and offer 150 kids tickets to attendees, which equates to 20% of our capacity. The festival provides fabulous facilities for kids, but the reality is the income we receive from the kids tickets doesn’t come close to covering the costs of all the activities we offer kids, and that, coupled with the drop in on site income received from kids, means it’s very hard for us to accommodate all the kids people want to bring. We offer a dedicated Family and Kids focused camp on The Farm, Campfire, in July, where families can come and enjoy all the same activities on offer at the festival, just without all the loud music of the main festival. Fire in the Mountain is a family friendly festival, not a family festival, and its focus has always been, and will remain, on live music and playing music. Campfire in the Mountain is a dedicated family event, and its focus is entirely on Families (in whatever shape or form they might take). Thanks for understanding.
Cancellations and refund policy
We recognise that unforeseen events can occur between the time you purchase your ticket and the festival. Fire in the Mountain will refund any ticket without question up until midday on Wednesday 28th May (the Wednesday before the event). Please log into your TicketSellers account or email info@theticketsellers.co.uk . On requesting a refund, you will be charged 10% (booking fee) of the ticket price for all tickets except adult tickets. Adult weekend ticket refunds incur a charge (up to £7). This cost will be deducted from the face value of your refunded tickets.
Ticket Swaps : Should you need to change your ticket types please get in touch with The Ticket Sellers directly on info@theticketsellers.co.uk please note this will incur a £5 admin charge
Waiting list : We operate a waiting list when tickets are sold out. Please fill out this form to be added to the waiting list. If you do not have the ticket you require (especially babies, children or campervans) then please do not travel as we will turn you away. When we are sold out we are out of space.
Name changes : We allow one name change per ticket for free with no admin charge, but after that you will need to request a refund. This is to avoid secondary ticket selling skulduggery!
Fees : No one likes charges on top of ticket prices. We include the "Booking Fee" which goes to our 3rd party ticket-selling website in the ticket price - you pay the face value of your tickets. However, every order incurs an additional and unavoidable non-refundable "transaction charge" (banking charge) of £1.50. We can't do anything about this.
Ticket Pricing Explained
We're again attempting a tiered ticket system to attempt to make the event fairer.
The Plan:
Low Income For people who really are struggling to make ends meet at the moment.
Average Ticket Price This is what our budget says we need to charge to cover the event.
High Income If you are confortable and have a decent income, please consider paying a little more. For each of these tickets we release more low income tickets.
Benefactor Ticket Our festival is not-for-profit and is made possible by countless people working for cheap or free.... this ticket is a massive thank you to everyone... if you can afford to give something back over and above. Thank you.
A very helpful person sent in this matrix to help you decide if you are Low Income, Average or a High Earner.
