Tickets include all your food!
Our full weekend tickets include all your meals from Friday evening until Sunday evening. There will also be snacks and hot drinks available throughout the weekend too.
Catering Options:
We offer Vegan or Vegetarian meals and also have a gluten, dairy and nut free option. We cannot guarantee to cater for other food requirements as we have limited capacity. We'll ask your dietary requirements on buying your ticket, which helps us massively to prepare in good time. If you would prefer or need to bring your own food, please let us know, and we can offer a ticket without the costs of food included.
About Julia, the organiser
Julia is the creator and manager of Rumble festival, a conscious dance event that combines many different forms of movement and therapeutic practices that enable us to explore our inner and outer worlds in a safe and supportive environment.
Julia's work is inspired by various movement systems such as 5 Rhythms, Contact Improvisation and Ecstatic Dance through which she has been developing her own experience and understanding of dance, connection and the power of movement to bring us into the present moment and explore our relationship to ourselves and our world.
Julia is passionate about creating community in the simplest and most accessible way, welcoming all that we bring and encouraging authentic and open relating in all its forms
Please note:
Please arrive before 8pm on Friday as it's important we are all present for the Opening Circle
Please book in advance to reserve your spot - Limited places!
We cater for Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-free or Nut-free diets. If you have a special diet that we cannot cater for, or prefer to bring your own food, then please get in touch.
Gender Balancing
Whilst we are not specific about who we connect with during any of the exercises or sessions, we feel it's lovely to create a sense of balance at this event, hence asking for gender details as you purchase your ticket(s).
IMPORTANT
This weekend event is alcohol, smoke and drug free. Thank-you for your care to hold this safe space together.
Please respect everyone's choice for physical contact or connection. We are all free to choose with who, when and how we'd like to connect and we ask everyone to listen carefully and trust each other to say "no". We appreciate a "no" as a gift of honesty and self-care.
Thank-you for being you and for being brave and showing up!
Lower priced tickets
We can offer a few lower-priced tickets for those who are not in a position to afford the Standard price. Please get in touch if you'd like more info on those. Thanks so much.
Crew Places
We are looking for a small team that can help support us with various tasks including preparing the venue from Friday 10am and / or helping in the kitchen in exchange for a free ticket and all your food! Our crew application forms will be available soon!
