This week Hoop welcomes a few new counties to the family — we’re delighted to launch in Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire and towns surrounding Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool. It makes us really happy to be available to another 7 million people!

Families across these areas are now able to find plenty of exciting and unusual activities right on their doorstep using Hoop. We’ve discovered bundles to keep you and your little ones occupied over the school holidays.

There’s a huge wealth of performances to keep every child entertained this summer, whether they’re fans of puppetry, magic or musicals, something on Hoop will tickle their fancy. Those in Tameside should join The Walrus and the Carpenter for an accordion accompanied rendition of Lewis Carroll’s famous poem.

If musicals are more your thing, join in on a singalong with the witch and her cat in a musical adaptation of Room on the Broom. Or better yet, show the family you’ve got another trick up your sleeve and inspire the next Houdini at Morgan & West’s Utterly Spiffing Spectacular Magic Show in Worcestershire.

Do your children fancy themselves the next Sherlock Holmes? Spend a night at Tatton Park and help Lord Egerton uncover secrets, solve puzzles and get to the bottom of a perplexing mystery. Alternatively, give them the opportunity to set their own clues to help find a missing bowl of cheesy puffs at an Animal Agents Coding session in Derbyshire.

We’re having such an incredible time finding things for kids to do at Hoop and it’s been a joy to help families find their next memorable day out. We’ll be spreading out both East and West for out next rollout — watch this space!
