This was probably where we spent most of our time over the weekend. It is an opportunity to be wild, hurl that pillow, let the feathers fly, oh and make a snow/feather angel. The festival site is lit up with hundreds of lanterns for an evening parade, led by the Voodoo Love Orchestra! Pillow fights and mayhem Saying that, the lantern parade is spectacular.
The girls headed over to the High Seas with the Mini Travellers tribe, and spent a considerable amount of time making willow and paper creations ready for the lantern parade on the Saturday night (particular thanks to Mr Mini Travellers!). If I have one tip for you, it is to get over to the High Seas and make your lanterns early. Trees strewn with fairy lights and bunting flags, beautiful signposts dotted around, incredible installations wherever you turn and lanterns hanging in the trees – it is just absolutely magical. Every year the organisers put so much thought and effort into adding a touch of magic to the site. The attention to detail at this festival is just incredible. You can purchase them from the festival itself but they are quite pricey, and supplies ran low quite quickly. There is something quite special about watching the children sitting listening to his wonderful stories, toasting marshmallows around the campfire, super excited because we are throwing out any routine and they get to stay up super late! Ian Douglas was also joined by the marvellous storyteller Dieter Wadeson. He really is the story teller of all story tellers and we loved him at Timber Festival and loved him just a much at Just So. The festival would not be the same without a story around the campfire from the incredible Ian Douglas. We earned a respectable six pebbles over the weekend, but unfortunately the children would not part with the special golden jewels, preferring to take them home! There were some absolutely amazing costumes, and I have a fair few ideas now for next year’s shenanigans. At the end of the weekend see who is crowned the winning tribe of 2018. Over the weekend staff hand out gold pebbles for the amazing costumes, impressive challenges or behaviour. Basically each family pick from owls, foxes, frogs, stags, lions, fish or bees. My mom made the most incredible fox dresses for the girls and matching dungarees for our little man. This is the first year we have taken part in the tribal tournament, where we chose to join #teamfox. There is so much planned for the children and I love to see all the adults taking part, jumping in with two wellington boots and enjoying the dressing up, glitter, crafts, dance, and activities. Apart from when we headed to Timber Festival earlier on in the year (a festival also produced by Wild Rumpus), I have never experienced a festival quite like it. It is a beautiful world of imagination, arts, music, dance and play and allows both adults and children to step outside of their daily lives for a short time and to jump into a world of fun and togetherness. The Just So Festival is a family friendly festival dedicated to children and their families. So why is the Just So Festival special? and why do we go every year? In their own words they “produce extraordinary and incredible worlds, and invite families to step inside and help to create incredible stories and moments of wonder.” Their aim is to take families on a wonderful outdoor adventure. The Just So Festival is an award-winning festival, created and produced by Wild Rumpus, a not-for-profit family arts organisation. It is set in the grounds of the absolutely stunning Rode Hall Estate in Scholar Green in Cheshire. Just So Festival is an annual weekend-long camping festival aimed at children and their families.
