Countdown to Nestival 2026

Please be prepared for the great outdoors!! The bulk of the festival will be outdoors come rain or shine.  The outdoor stage is down steps, slopes and  mildly inclined paths - it is not currently suitable for wheelchairs, we hope to improve this next year. Please get in touch  right away if you have any mobility issues! chris@strinesnightingale.com

We have 2 x  outdoor toilets. 

We are not encouraging dogs, its not an ideal environment due to the large attendence . Dogs  certainly wont be permitted into the woodland stage area.  They are permitted on the terrace if you are really stuck for a dog sitter. 

Kids:  Even though Tree Music has always been very child friendly, this is slightly different and much busier.   If you want to bring your kids they will need a ticket , and  only until 8pm for the outdoors segment of the festival.  

Plenty of  food options ! Poutine, pies, pizzas and salads. Options for gluten free and vegan.

Drinks: Main bar with ten taps of local-ish breweries (Cloudwater, Sureshot, Torrside, Blackjack, Redwillow) plus special guests: TRACK  and NESTIVAL IPA.

Well stocked outdoor bar with a specially brewed draught  Nestival IPA / lagers, ciders, cocktails, frozen margaritas and craft cans.

*** PLEASE NOTE ONLY FOOD AND DRINK PURCHASED ON THE PREMISES CAN BE CONSUMED ON THE PREMISES  ***

We have a car park with very limited space, we would suggest alternative transport means. 

 BUS:  We are served by the 358  with our very own stop  called The Strines Nightingale which connects us easily with Stockport, Marple, Hague Bar, New Mills and Hayfield. - https://www.stagecoachbus.com/routes/greater-manchester/358/stockport-hayfield/xjao358.o

TRAIN:  Strines has a station a 12 minute walk away with connections to Manchester Piccadilly , Sheffield, Edale, Dore, Marple, New Mills (a torch is useful in the dark)

 CANAL  You'll find a path down to us directly from the Peak Forest Canal. 

TAXI: We are serviced by UBER cars  and local firm Lynx.

There are  campsites and hotel options  serviced by the 358 bus. Look into: New Mills, Marple, Hayfield,   Birch Vale, Hazel Grove and Stockport. Stockport  is the nearest space with plenty of hotels. 20 minutes on the bus directly outside the pub. Manchester city centre is 45 mins in a taxi.  There is a campsite walking distance to the pub, but they prefer members of the caravan club. (Whitecroft Farm).  Next year onsite camping options will be available!
