Burning Nest
Join us at the UK's largest Regional Burn
Burning Nest is a week of art, play, and mischief in a Devon woodland. It’s a participatory event, meaning no spectators, no commerce – just curious humans co-creating magic together, one ridiculous idea at a time.
What could you bring to the fire?

FAQs
Q: So is it a festival?
A: Nope. Nest is a Burn, not a festival. No headliners, no spectators, no VIP areas, no vending. It’s a volunteer-built, community-led experiment guided by the 11 Principles. You don’t just attend, you participate. Bring art, run a workshop, perform, join a theme camp, or volunteer on a crew. You’re the line-up.
Q: How much does the event cost?
A: From £200 for a standard ticket. That gets you seven days of experiences in a beautiful woodland glade filled with art, music, wild ideas, and wonderful, silly, interesting weirdos.
We also offer Inclusion (low-income) tickets at £100 for those for whom the full price would be a genuine barrier. These require an application and approval, and numbers are limited, so please only apply if you truly need one.
Q: Where and when?
A: Near Newton Abbot, Devon, UK, at a secret location very close by. It’s a seven-day event in the third week of May 2026: 18th May to 24th May.
Q: Should i bring a tent, a motorhome?
A: Yes and yes. Bring your own tent or camper. Motorhomes are welcome. Be fully self-reliant for shelter, food, water, and power, and leave no trace.
