Nestival

Good music. Great company. A proper Lancashire get-together.

Live music, local flavour and the kind of atmosphere that keeps you saying, “Just one more song.”

Welcome to Nestival, our summer festival at Brindle Distillery. Bringing together everything we love about a gathering at the Nest, it’s a chance to catch up with friends, discover something delicious and enjoy a festival on our Lancashire farm.

Been before? You’ll know the feeling. Joining us for the first time? We’d love to welcome you.

And if you’re already thinking about summer 2027… keep watching.

A little introduction to Nestival

Nestival grew out of something simple: our love of bringing people together.

Created by the Cuckoo team, our independent festival brings live music, food, drinks and local talent together at Holmes Farm in Brindle.

It’s a celebration of the community around us, from the musicians taking to the stage to the independent businesses serving up something special and the familiar faces coming through the gates.

Come with your friends, meet up with the family and settle into the Nestival spirit.

Find your next favourite festival moment

That song everyone knows the words to. An afternoon that turns into an evening. A catch-up with friends that ends somewhere near the dance floor.

Music is at the heart of Nestival, with previous editions bringing together party anthems, country favourites, indie tunes and feel-good live performances.

Our 2026 programme included Friday Floor Fillers, Saturday’s Country Shindig and a relaxed, family-focused Sunday, with Paddy Slater & Pals, Connor Banks Country Band and the seven-piece UTC House Band among the acts.

As for who’s next? You’ll have to wait a little longer.

Come hungry

A festival deserves food worth taking a break from the music for.

Street food from Peckish Food Yard  is part of the Nestival experience, giving you the chance to discover independent vendors and find something delicious between sets.

A taste of the Nest

You’re at the home of Cuckoo Spirits, so drinks are very much part of the occasion.

Previous Nestivals have brought together Cuckoo serves, cocktails and locally brewed ales, with plenty of opportunity to enjoy a favourite or try something different.

Find your spot, catch up with your people and soak up the atmosphere.

Proud of our Lancashire roots

Nestival brings local talent and independent businesses into the spotlight, including musicians, food vendors and craft traders.

Their enthusiasm helps make the festival what it is. So does everyone who comes along, supports a stall, cheers on a band or brings a friend for the first time.

It’s our corner of Lancashire, coming together for a summer celebration.
