Free Nestival weekend brings live music to Chorley
Nestival 2026 will run from Friday 31 July to Sunday 2 August at Brindle Distillery, Holmes Farm, Sandy Lane, Brindle, Chorley. The Visit Lancashire Events listing describes admission as free, displays a start time of 00:00 and includes a Book Now option.
The community festival is aimed at people interested in live local music, cocktails, Cuckoo Spirits and food. Families may find Sunday the most relevant day because it is specifically billed as family-friendly, although the published information does not list dedicated children’s activities.
What is planned at The Nest
Hosted by Brindle Distillery at The Nest, the multi-day festival brings its music, drinks and food programme together at one venue. The published description says visitors can expect feel-good performances, lively evening parties and a more family-focused final day.
Live music from local artists sits at the centre of the weekend. However, the listing does not name the performers or provide a day-by-day running order, so anyone hoping to see a particular act should check the event information or contact the distillery before travelling.
Brindle Distillery will also serve cocktails and Cuckoo Spirits, with food available during the festival. This makes Nestival relevant both to existing followers of the distillery and visitors discovering its spirits for the first time.

What to check before attending
Although the event is listed as free, the source does not clarify whether advance booking is required or whether the Book Now option is simply available for reserving entry. It also provides no information about parking, public transport arrangements or accessibility. These practical gaps are worth resolving before setting out, particularly for visitors who need step-free access or are planning around a specific performance.
The most useful next step is to use the booking link on the Visit Lancashire Events listing or contact Brindle Distillery directly. The published telephone number is 01772 323 313, and enquiries can be sent to info@brindledistillery.co.uk.
