Just So Festival

A weekend camping adventure beyond your wildest dreams

Just So Festival enables families to step out of their day to day lives and into a wonderland of world class literature, arts, theatre, dance, music, comedy and creative pursuits together. Just So takes audiences on a unique expedition of mischief and mayhem, to lands full of magical midnight feasts, curious creatures, hidden retreats, top notch food, drink and boutique camping options and breathtaking beauty.

Location

Just So is set in woodland clearings, rolling parkland, arboreal amphitheatres and lakeside spots in the Rode Hall Estate, Cheshire, one of the most stunning landscapes in the UK, with limited public access the rest of the year.

Play wild

Just So is designed wild play; whether that’s a giant pillow fight, the world’s biggest ever pass the parcel, a custard catwalk or colour fight en masse, we create the conditions for everyone to break away from the everyday habits. Read more about our belief in the power of playfighting.
