Included in your ticket, optional workshops give you a chance to expand your skillset and get out of your comfort zone. Last year’s optional workshops included yoga, contortion, aerial, synchronised swimming (on land), silk fans and a visual art meets hoop workshop. We can’t wait to share what 2027 has to offer!

Hoop Curious? Free Beginners Workshop!
Always wanted to try hula hoop but not sure if you are ready for a whole weekend of it? We are offering a free, all ages beginner hula hoop workshop as part of the festival. It’s held at our venue, the Bankfoot Church Centre on Saturday.
Event Times and Information:
HoopScotch registration starts from 10am on Friday, with the first workshop starting at 11am. We recommend arriving from 10am, but you are welcome to park up at the venue from 9am onwards.
On Friday there is an Open Show at 7pm which is a place where anyone who wants to perform something can do so. It’s not open to the public and is intended as a safe supportive place to try out an act or a new trick. All welcome!
The Gala Show on Saturday is at 7pm and is open to the public. Please feel free to invite friends and family. Tickets can be bought at the link above or on the door (but we’d really prefer it if you bought them online).
HoopScotch finishes at 4pm on Sunday.
There is access to a training/jam space throughout the convention, but please be considerate of neighbours by not making noise outside of the venue late at night.
Food: there are communal fridges and microwave facilities at the venue. There is a local shop but it does not have a big variety of options, so we would recommend bringing food with you and treating it as a camping trip.

The event is held at Bankfoot Church Centre, Bankfoot, Perth, PH1 4BS, which is a 1hr drive from Glasgow or Edinburgh.
