The Nest Collective’s one-day festival celebrating the finest folk and roots music from around the world.
This summer we return to the stunning Master Shipwright’s Palace for our annual festival.
Join us for a glorious afternoon & evening as you wander from stage to stage with music all around you. Take in the incredible views across the river as you seek out familiar sounds and discover new favourites.
With stages in both gardens as well as a special unplugged stage indoors, there’s plenty of opportunities to revel in beautiful live music.
