Neighbourhood Weekender – Bingley, England 2026

Overview

Neighbourhood Weekender is a high-energy two-day indie, rock, pop, and alternative music festival set in the lush grounds of Victoria Park, Warrington, Cheshire, offering a compact yet explosive escape with top-tier lineups across three stages amid Yorkshire’s scenic charm. Relaunched in 2023 after a hiatus, it has swiftly reclaimed its spot as a North West favorite, blending major acts with emerging talents in an inclusive, family-oriented vibe complete with local concessions, art installations, and carnival rides. Capacity hovers around 15,000, with past editions headlined by The Kooks, Kasabian, and Super Furry Animals, lauded by NME for its “vibrant, accessible alchemy” that punches above its weekend weight.

For 2026, anticipated in late May’s Spring Bank Holiday slot following 2025’s May 24-25 triumph, expect lineup reveals soon after tickets drop, with amplified sustainability like full cashless ops and expanded kids’ zones. It’s not mere sets—it’s a swift sonic sprint of discovery, from silent discos to street food feasts, easily accessed from Manchester or Liverpool, ideal for groups craving a no-fuss, feel-good festival hit in a parkland paradise.
