THe DEtails
We’re really happy in our home at Rode Hall Estate, we hope that we’ll be invited back for many years to come. Our aim is to leave no trace on the site and we’d be grateful if you would help us achieve this. This means putting your litter in the bin, and leaving your campsite just as you found it. Please take care not to wander into areas marked no entry and try not to disturb the wildlife on site.
Just So Festival takes place at the beautiful Rode Hall Estate in Scholar Green in Cheshire.
The festival address for general camping, boutique camping and day ticket holders including accessible parking for day ticket holders is: Rode Hall Estate, Scholar Green, Cheshire, ST7 3QT.

Google maps is your friend, but please see your pre arrival information to confirm which entrance (gate) you need come to. This information will be sent to your email about one month before the festival and called ‘pre arrival info’.
E-tickets will be exchanged for wristbands on arrival. Please visit Wristband Exchange at the festival entrance before trying to enter the site.
Wristband Exchange will open at 12 noon on Friday so head there early to avoid queues at 2pm when the festival gates open. Parents, please write your mobile telephone number on your children’s wristbands straight away. There is good mobile phone coverage on site. Please keep your wristbands on for the duration of the festival, as we may ask to check them at any time. Once you have your wristbands you will be able to come and go from the site as you please.
Lots of tiny tots are coming to the festival, and we are keen that their first festival is a pleasure for the whole family. You can find our lovely nappy-changing tent with mats, nappies and wipes in the Peekaboo area.
This is also where you can find the baby-feeding area, so parents can relax and breast or bottle feed their babies in relative peace. Bottle and food warmers can be plugged in and used in the baby-feeding tent in Peekaboo where we’ll provide a bottle warmer or bring your own.
Every day, there is a baby bath time – please check the programme for these times, or ask at the information desk if you’re unsure.
We love for our audience to spend time around the campfire through the evening until late. To keep everyone on site safe, stewards will put the campfire out around midnight, at which point everyone needs to leave the campsite area.
No campfires are allowed in the campsites.
You can charge your phone for a small charge during the festival. Please visit the information tent for prices and charging.
There are no cash machines on site. All vendors take card payments.
Animals, glass, bikes, anything illegal, barbecues, fireworks, kites, and sound systems. These items are not allowed on the festival site.
Some suggestions of what not to forget when camping with kids — sunscreen, waterproofs, wellies, sunhat, warm blankets – it will probably get cold at night, waterproof picnic rug, transportation – a buggy (with a raincover) or sling, first aid kit, nappies, anti-bacterial hand gel, bucket/travel potty – for midnight wees, torch, fancy dress.
Check out the packing list on our First Timer’s Guide.
We have 24 hour security at the festival – in the campsite, on the gates, and on the festival site itself.
We have first aid provision on site day and night. If you require first aid, please make your way to the first aid point at the main entrance. In an emergency, please alert one of the festival stewards who will radio for a medic to attend. Please do not call 999 as our medics will get to you much more quickly
All children will be given a wristband on entry to the festival, with a space for a parent’s mobile telephone number. Please keep your phone with you.
You can charge it up at the Information Tent. We suggest that families with older children make clear plans as a family when they arrive at the festival, with an agreed meeting place if you lose each other. If your children cannot find you, show them what our festival stewards look like so that they know who to approach (look out for those wearing volunteer aprons). Lost children will be cared for by the registered child carers and can play and have fun while they wait for you at the lost child point. Give your children the same advice you would if you were anywhere else: don’t go off with strangers or anyone without telling you first. Children are the responsibility of their parent or carer at all times.
You may see our team of photographers and videographers on site recording the festival. If you would prefer not to feature in photos or vidoes, please approach them and let them know, or visit the information tent and let one of the staff know there.
