Rumpus: Glow! is paying homage to our venerable venue, the Islington Metalworks; our crucibles are overflowing with the mystical metals and lascivious lights of sculptor and long-time Rumpus regular, Susie Olczak, creating an immersive playing field upon which Seasylph Games will unfold a custom live gaming experience from which almost everyone is expected to survive.
Test your mettle in a quest of mesmerising missions and interactive adventures seeded throughout the event. Collect clues and solve puzzles as you journey through the seven rooms of circus acts, live music, DJs and walkabout wonders.
Mix 3 parts Running Man spandex with 2 parts Jetsons retro and a generous dash of molten smolten mysteries!

Bert’s Pick of the Pops
We asked the custodial staff at Rumpus if anyone could DJ and to our surprise Bert the Caretaker said he and his Missus were mobile DJs in the 70’s. So they’ve dragged his gear out of the attic to play the Pick of the Pops from the 60’s and 70’s. Let’s just hope he forgot to pack the Disco.
