Theme

This year's theme is 'Travel'.

"Expect to tour the most curious lands and encounter creatures and characters beyond your wildest dreams. Pack wisely my friends, though you will find all your travelling needs will be met at Grand Central. Visit the Passport Office and the Bureau de change before venturing into the unchartered territory of Just So 2015.

Never fear we the Tourist Board will be guiding you through your expeditions preparations in the months ahead. As the Cheshire Cat says, “every adventure requires a first step."

Babies

The family festival experience includes family camping, nice loos, baby changing tents with changing mats and wipes, a breast-feeding boudoir, an area with electicity points for bottle warmers and sterilisers, and more.

Other attractions

The 6th year of the festival will provide an experience where art, music and literature are embedded and entwined in the landscape. Expect also a lantern parade, midnight feast, festival opera, festival choir, kids dressing up, children's authors and illustrators, workshops, pottery, puppets, and more.

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