The rumours are true, we tried to take a break till next year but we missed you too much! And the idea of a Christmas season without a Christmas Rumpus? Well it just didn’t bear thinking about!

We’re coming at with you the biggest dance-floor clash since that time David Attenborough took on Steve Irwin.

Seven rooms over three floors packed to the hilt with live bands, DJs, VJs and more colourful characters than you can shake a stick at. And because we, at Rumpus, believe more is more…there IS more!

Back to carnival up the celebrations we have those flamboyant folk from the Tropical Tea Party, and taking over the main room we have Batov Records and the gyrating gods that are Gypsy Hill.
