Just So Festival have confirmed their full programme which promises to delve families further than ever before into a curious world of magic, daydreams and adventure. Rightly claiming to be a true cultural highlight for families in summer 2014 Just So showcases an eclectic mix of the best in outdoor family arts. Taking families out of their day-to-day lives and inviting them to sing, dance, play, explore and discover art together in a spellbinding natural landscape.

 

Journey through sizzling safaris and snowy Siberia with Les Enfants Terrible, and their Magical Menagerie. Watch marvellous beings spin softly through the air as Pif Paf stage their breathtakingly beautiful aerial performance Something To Hold. Whilst Walk The Plank will also be dazzling audiences with their spectacular Shadowplay, an interactive kinetic sculpture with more than a pinch of the zany and vaudevillian. 

Co Director Rowan Hoban said “This is the biggest programme we’ve had to date, we’re going all out to make our 5th birthday celebration the most magical Just So we could dream of.” 

As usual the musical line-up is rife with accordions, ukuleles, banjo’s, and horns. With festival favourites Cut A Shine being joined by Gabby Young and Other Animals, fine purveyors of the best circus swing. As well as Keston Cobblers, winners of Six Music’s Rebel Playlist and self described kings and queens of “tuba-oom-pah folk pop”. 

Exciting new areas including The Imaginarium a bonkers world designed to transport you to 1920’s Hollywood or the Antarctic through costume. Alongside The New Curosity Shop, a place to learn the art of being Sherlock Holmes, the tricks behind ventriloquism, or butterfly identification. 

This will all be accompanied by the usual magical madness of midnight feats, pillow fights, den building and the Wild Rumpus Parade.
