The Nevill Holt Festival has announced its partners for the 2026 season, with fashion brand Jigsaw, London brasserie Maison François, and Waterstones all confirmed to return.

Jigsaw returns for its third consecutive year, and will once again host a pop-up store offering a curated showcase of the British label’s designs.

“Jigsaw and the Nevill Holt Festival are natural partners,” said Jigsaw Managing Director Tikki Godley. “We share the same DNA — a dedication to quality, an eye for beauty, and a deep belief in supporting the UK’s creative industries. Three years in, this partnership feels stronger than ever.”

London’s Maison François will take over the main marquee on the festival lawn to create “The Garden Restaurant,” its full-scale pop-up dining experience featuring French classics served throughout the day and evening, often using produce from the estate’s own Kitchen Garden.

François O’Neill, founder of Maison François, noted that, “Following the huge success of The Garden by Maison François at last year’s festival, we are extremely excited to be back at Nevill Holt this year.”

Waterstones returns with a pop-up bookshop run by the local team from its Market Harborough store, offering a selection of titles including books by festival authors, with signed copies often available following events.

“I’m really excited that Waterstones is to be partnering with the Nevill Holt Festival again this year. We always have a great time, and this year’s lineup looks incredible. We can’t wait to see everyone there,” Sarah Moore, branch manager of Market Harborough Waterstones, concluded.

The company also revealed that Bauer Media and its Magic Classical station also return for a second year as media partner.
