Summer is rushing towards us with its promise of festivals and fun. Rumpus: Rainbows & Rayguns is our last outing before we disband for the summer – and we’d love to have you with us. This is your last opportunity before the summer season to meet and mingle with the music magic, mayhem and mystery that belongs to the Creature chaos that is Rumpus!
Start the celebrations and springboard into the silly season with Rumpus’ 8th birthday party Rainbows & Rayguns. Strap on your hologram holsters and embrace the pigment of figment! Fetch out your finery and launch it to another level of loveliness!
Rumpus is *the* indoor festival: eight rooms of wonder and bumptiousness, live bands, DJs, and amazing artists all packed into eight magical hours.
(By the way, did you know Rumpus does Mumpus? That’s free Mum Tickets! Yup, a free ticket for your Mum! If you want to show your Mum* what it is you do on a Friday night, she can get in for free!) *Dads count too.
