Spanish Hoop Holiday 2018

Welcome to the UK Hoop Gathering Project!

UKHG was set up way back in 2009, born out of our love for hooping and bringing people together to create legendary memories. We were the organiser of Europe’s first ever hoop event and since then we’ve held 20 hoop retreats so far in the UK and Spain.

We love to teach, to share and to help people to get their hoop on as well as to learn other exciting new skills. Most of all we believe in the power of community and in the magic that happens when we all get together to have fun.

We’d love to share this with YOU so come and hoop it up with us at the Hoop Gathering at Hardwick, our yearly weekend hoop retreat in the UK or join us in sunny Spain for our week-long Spanish Hoop Holiday every other year.

Come and play!!

testimonials / What our guests think

I just wanted to to say how much I enjoyed both your workshops in Manchester. The ‘Progression Training’ did what it said on the tin… I learnt loads of new tricks and have certainly got plenty to be practicing. I would definately recommend “How to Create a Hoop Act” to anyone who hoops even if you don’t intend to go on stage. I think this workshop is great for improving your confidence, style and flow even if you are only showing off your skills to your friends or your gran! A fantastic 2 days of hoopy brilliance. Well done Gems! xx

UKHG Manchester workshops = awesome! 2 full on days of hooping fun, new tricks, new ideas, lots of inspiration, new hooping friends and loads of fun!!! Cannot recommend the lovely Gems and her workshops enough!!

by Bex, Derby

I highly recommend these to anyone who wants to progress with their hooping. Both workshops were well structured, with lots of useful exercises and great fun. The hoop act one was a particular challenge for me. I was impressed with how you’d thought about all aspects of performance, from the practical to the mental challenges. It really enabled me to step out of my comfort zone and start to work on the performance-terror gremlins. Two great workshops!

by Marie, Wales

Loads of fun, amazing venue (Hardwick Hoop Gathering). It was such a treat to eat delicious veggie food all weekend and enjoy a wood fired hot tub by the river. The hoop classes were brilliant – suitable for all levels. I met some really lovely people, and I can’t wait to go back next year. Highly recommended!

Best weekend I’ve had in years. No hesitation in recommending

Thank you for a magical weekend at HGH…. the workshops (and the food) were the best ever!

by Karen Kessous

A great lineup for teachers, I learned so much! The venue is lovely, the food was great and the hot tub is really nice. I had a really lovely time, would recommend it in a heartbeat!

by Maya Si

The UKHG week in Spain has easily been the best holiday I’ve been on. I’ve been twice and I can’t wait to go again this year. What makes it so special is the perfect combination that makes it feel like four holidays in one!
