Rumpus returns! Welcome back, loyal and royal creatures! Back from the dust and the deserts, the fields and the festivals. To celebrate your return to the raddled old beauty that is London in Autumn we bring you, across three floors and seven rooms: lascivious live bands; DJs with beats so dangerous they’re addictive; and the legendarily glandular gathering of the Crew Creative to tempt, tantalise and tease the tired limbs of summer into one more frenzied night of music, magic, mystery and mahem!
Rumpus: Zeus vs Seuss! The return of the Cat in the Hat – will the Fish petition Poseidon? Will Hermes harangue the Wonderland word faster than the Fox in Sox? Will Horton meet Cindy Lou Who or will Eurydice find her Orpheus? Will Thing One and Thing Two pit their wits against Artemis? One thing is certain; we will battle the grumpiness of the Grinch with bursts of Bacchic bonhomie.
★☆Dress Code Suggestions★☆
From Ares to Sappho, from Thing Two to Thing One
All Creatures are welcomed to dressing up fun
From Glittering Gorgons to Foxes in Boxes
With tails on their bottoms and shine in their locksies
The Creatures, creative will walk in the door
Alluring Athenians, Cats Hats Bats and more!
There’ll be Neophytes aplenty, Fishes Old, Red and Blue,
Nyads and Dryads and Elephants too
Lazy old Maisie Bird might flutter in
Oh, and Hermes, and Hera and Zeus for the win!

There’s tea and there’s cake and lots and lots more.
All is for charity, these guys are so nice, so take some time out with them is our advice.

VJ Harper weaving majik and myth through music and light into a rave to charm even Cerberus into
dancing all night.
