Over the Bank Holiday weekend we went out on the road to two hooping events! The season has well and truly begun for Pixiehoopsound!
First we went to the Trinity Centre in Bristol to do a free hoop party for their pay it forward event, check it out here
http://www.3ca.org.uk/projects/pay-it-forward/news-events/free-alternative-royal-wedding-party.It was a really fun event and loads of people got involved with the hoops :) there were loads of people doing all kinds of things including puzzles, toy making, scrabble, tug of war.. it was excellent and the weather was really good so it was even better!
Two of the organisers started a tug of war and then people kept flocking in to help the losing side, including the pig!. Eventually our side lost :( but it was a good laugh anyway!

The next event of the weekend was the Beltane Buzz near St Davids in Wales. We travelled straight down after leaving the Trinity Centre on Friday afternoon. We were there primarily to provide the hula hoops but we also provided our felt workshop as Innerspiral Studio (our sister company, you can find our blog for that at innerspiral.blogspot.com). It was lots of fun and there were some serious hoop offs - at one point we were collecting festivalgoers as they walked past, everyone ended up in a massive hoop off showdown! Excellent!

The felting workshop went really well too, check out innerspiralblogspot.com for the lowdown on that :)
