Nambour is often the brunt of jokes when it comes to towns on the Sunshine Coast, but these days that's all starting to change.
Formerly a bustling agricultural town that revolved around its sugar industry, the town fell into hard times when the iconic Moreton Sugar Mill closed its doors in 2003. Fast forward to 2015 and the cheap rent prices in Nambour are beginning to draw in young and innovative entrepreneurs from all over the Sunshine Coast.

The Nook & Cranny is one such venue to have emerged out of Nambour's ever changing landscape, and it's not hard to see why it's already been such a huge success.
Instantly when you walk inside, the Nook & Cranny oozes cool vibes with its funky vintage décor and walls covered in the street art of local artists. During the day you can pick up a decent coffee at The Nook (something Nambour lacked for a long time) and in the evening you can enjoy one of The Nook's loved pizzas while sipping on a cocktail from the bar and enjoying tunes – often live.

The venue plays host to a plethora of different acts each week, as well as hosting weekly shows including an Open Mic Night after dark every Wednesday and the popular To The '90s & Beyond Vinyl sessions on Friday nights. Sunny Coasters can also catch local acts Barry Charles on 28 May and Zac Gunthorpe on 31 May.
The Nook & Cranny is located at 113 Currie Street, Nambour.
