Join us for an alternative Bonfire Night celebration in the lovely surroundings of London's Cody Dock, with performances from Luke Wallace, Mandalakia and more.At the Nest Collective we love nothing more than sharing in the joy of live music outdoors by the fireside. In the simple way that people have done for thousands of years, we come together around the fire to enjoy music, food, drink and the company of others.
On 8th November we are delighted to host this alternative Bonfire Night celebration, featuring extraordinary live music, storytelling and more at the beautiful venue of Cody Dock on the River Lea.
This gathering will invite attendees to reflect on the importance of political dissent in society on this meaningful date, and to consider its power as a shaper of community and the future. This is how music and story can ignite the fire inside us all.

"These events sitting outdoors around fires and listening to music and stories are so important for my soul. A break from our normally hectic lives."
