Circus Factory is thrilled to announce a three-day hula hoop convention and meeting: Hoopla! Ireland’s only Hula Hoop Convention is packed with workshops from world-renowned artists and teachers, and creates a space where we can meet and share tips and jam all together.

Saturday is a day of workshops, an open jam hall followed with the Hoopla Festival Gala in the evening. Sunday is more workshops and open jam hall. And to top it all off, each day there are private sauna sessions right next door at Wildwood Sauna.
Tickets for the festival are sold as passes. Each pass entitles you to 2 workshops and entry to the open jam space.
