Hoop was launched in 2016 by a group of parents who felt that it was far too difficult to find things to do with their family.
Hoop went through tough times in COVID but came out the other side stronger than ever in 2022.
Hoop is one of the UK’s most loved family apps; helping connect children and teenagers to organisers who help them laugh, learn and make new friends.
For grown-ups Hoop is an indispensable tool that takes all the hassle out of finding things to do with our children. Our app and website are updated regularly with over one hundred thousand different activities, searchable on Google maps.
Our main ethos at Hoop is simple: we must get kids doing healthy activities. Let’s reduce obesity, let’s engage our children’s minds, let’s reduce our reliance on social media, and let’s get kids playing and having healthy, happy fun.
‘I’m so grateful to have been recommended the Hoop app! It’s so fantastic and has made it easy for me to find so many events and classes that I wouldn’t have found otherwise! Love it.’

How do you make money?
We know that organising events and classes cost money. There are staff costs, equipment, and health and safety factors that need accounting for. Hoop will direct parents with children to your booking link, website or email so you get more kids attending your events. Fully booked? No problem, leave your fully-booked event on so people also find your quieter-events.
So it’s like a booking fee?
No, Hoop does not currently charge a booking fee. We may in future, but at the moment we do not. Instead, we plan to charge a subscription to list your classes, camps or events on Hoop.
