Just So – The Animal Uprising

The work we create at Wild Rumpus – be that large outdoor festivals and events, or more intimate creative interventions, invite people out of the real world and into fantastical wonderlands where anything can happen! Just So Festival is our most spectacular, technicolour celebration of this imaginary world, and for 2025 we have taken a pause, a moment to reconnect with its creative vision and to dream up what comes next.

This summer the woods, parkland and lakesides at Rode Hall – home to the festival, will be quieter, waiting patiently for the curious inhabitants of the Wild Rumpus world to emerge once again from between the trees in the joyous burst of magic, performance, circus, music, dancing and community.

We’re relaunching Just So with fresh, glittering eyes. Right now as summer is almost upon us, we’re busy dreaming, conjuring and distilling the essence of Just So, watching that special, iridescent wonder take shape as Just So Festival 2026.

We can’t wait to see you!
