Welcome to The Midnight Playground

We're an interactive visual
display like nothing you've
seen before.

Play with one of over 130
LED hoops and create amazing
3D psychedelic light trails for
the audience.

You are the performer, this is your chance to shine. Participate or spectate, the choice is yours!

We have hoops for everyone and are suitable for all ages.

about

This visual display currently consists of over one hundred and thirty LED hula-hoops, (yes you read that right), all hand made by us in East Sussex, England.

We bring the hoops out just before sunset. Little people can have a "bedtime blowout" while the grown-ups enjoy the event. Then, later into the night, we can appear anywhere for the "bigger kids" to have a go.

With hoops of all sizes as well as expert hoopers on hand to help you get your wiggle perfected we tailor the workshop to suit your event.

The best bit is it's free to participate and it looks absolutely incredible.

Get in touch to discuss your ideas!

Glastonbury Festival 2019 - Dan Green Photography

Glastonbury festival is full of surprises and magic moments. After working all day photographing the Kidzfield, I walked down to the Theatre and Circus Fields and discovered a mass of people hula hooping. I had to run back to grab my camera and capture this superb moment. Hopefully I’ll see it again in 2021 Filmed by: Dan Green Photography | www.dangreen.net Location: Theatre and Circus Fields Glastonbury Festival 2019 | www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk Music track : Groove by Sock Music label : Bubblewrap Collective| www.bubblewrapcollective.co.uk
