One month to go folks!!! We are in a frenzy of excitement here, planning fancy dress costumes, wrapping ourselves in bunting, and generally jumping up and down. Campers, we're just putting together a really comprehensive info pack which you'll receive early next week, and at the same time we'll be updating all our info pages with a big FAQ section which will  hopefully answer most of your questions. As usual, though, just drop us a line if you need anything. 
 
Programme News...  Dali, Chaplin or Marx? Pay homage to your favourite hairy faces by creating your very own marvellous moustache. And why stick to muted shades? Glitter, pink, purple and feathered moustaches will be the order of the day at our fabulous drop in workshop. If your face is unadorned by the end of the weekend we’ll want to know why.
 
We’re looking for young reporters to write their review of Just So. Come along to our workshop session to get some hints and tips, then head off with your notebooks to find your story. Your stories will be published on the festival website, with a prize for the best.Things to bring...
 
Oh tents and wellies and things i expect but this isn't a list of the practicalities, this is a list of the other essentials...

1) Fancy dress, fancy dress and more fancy dress. We LOVE a costume here at Just So, so get your thinking caps on and your cardboard boxes and ropey sewing skills out. There will be PRIZES for the best costume, with details of how to enter coming up soon. The wild rumpus parade on Sunday evening is the perfect chance to strut your stuff, along with the retro discos every evening.

2) Instruments. If you play something, bring it with you and play in the woods. Join in the DIY orchestra, do a turn at the cabaret, or just play an impromtu session in the woods.

3) Stories. Bring your best stories to share around the campfire.

4) Books. If you've loved a book and are ready to pass it on, come and find the secret book swap and exchange it for something else.

5) Treasures. There will be another special place where you can bring something, anything, that you have loved to play with or treasure, but have finished with now. You can exchange it for a new treasure that has meant something special to somebody else. Mysterious eh? More details to come...

6) Toys to star in our festival animation, Toy Stories.

7) Buttons with a memory attached, to add to the ever growing Button Museum.
