Just So Festival: 18^th – 20^th August 2017, Rode Hall Estate, Cheshire

Now in its 8^th year and recently awarded Best Festival by the National Outdoor Events Association, Just So is an annual, intimate, weekend-long festival – an imaginative outdoor adventure dedicated solely to children and their families.   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. Underpinned by the Tribal Tournament, the most bonkers of competitions, it takes audiences to lands full of magical midnight feasts, curious creatures, raucous pillow fights, hidden retreats, top notch food and breathtaking beauty. There is so much to do at Just So. Here are just a few of the highlights:

Explore the extraordinary Spellbound Forest and Woodland Theatre and experience the best new outdoor performances for families including circus antics, theatre, campfire tales and music. Adventure into Tales of Animalia to encounter lands and creatures beyond your wildest dreams. Deep in the forest find  an enchanting secret fairyland where you can meet the Fairy Queen. Head to the eccentric Village Green to meet some of the UK’s favourite children’s authors. Play in the Games Tent or do a spot of Maypole dancing and hone your circus skills. Dance like wild things to the outstanding line-up of over 20 brilliant artists and bands on the Footlights stage or dance the night away at the disco in Jitterbug. Go to The Peekaboo Garden for the best arts for the tiniest visitors - an entire area of innovative performances, activities and right royal facilities for 0-4s. Music, paint, clay, dens and bubbles, baby book club and baby bath time here ensure the littlies are well-catered for.
