Larmer Tree Festival 2011

lovely ladies hooping in the sunshine

Check out our snaps from the lovely Larmer Tree Festival! We hoop partied it right up from Thursday through til Sunday come rain or shine...

Norman!!

We met some pretty interesting characters along the way... meet Norman! We got to watch his shows and he took part in ours too! And he was a rather good hooper too to our surprise and delight :)

care for a hoop?

The sun stayed out all Thursday and Friday. Every hoop party we did was packed full from start to finish! We sold out of our hand taped hoops by Friday- but of course! The best hoops are the hand taped ones - and you need a grown up size hoop if you are grown up sized!!! And it is amazing exercise... according to some, it's the best you can get :)

hoops for all!

sunshiney hoop party joy

rare sighting of 3 men and their hoops!!!

On Saturday it rained in the morning - boo! So we saved it all up for our afternoon party when the sun was out once more - to sail the seven seas and steal all the treasure, argh me hearties!! Wanda became our pirate ship and we hooped the fields, and shivered timbers all over the place...

crazy people attacked us with a megaphone and then ran away

in the kids field on Sunday

On Sunday we ran our last hoop party in the kids field which was super lovely :) lots of new faces to hoop with! The funniest part was definitely when a random procession protest meandered through! Protesting the lack of real oranges in orange juice amongst other things...

childrens hoop off!

watch out for the incoming procession!
