The List of Every Hoop Gathering Event of 2016

After the success of the 2015 calendar I have decided to start early on this list. This is every hoop gathering event of 2016. For now I have decided to only include hoop-specific events. I discovered from compiling last years list that including all flow-based/prop manipulation/circus skills festivals (which had hoop workshops) becomes a task almost too overwhelming to manage. However, if there is a big hoop gathering at any of these non-hoop-specific events which you think I've overlooked, just let me know so that it can be added!

As usual with these things; some event details are yet to be released, the list will be updated as and when more information becomes available. Here it is in date order...

TBC= To Be Confirmed. Price ranges include day passes to full stay, and earlybird tickets. I've included events which took place last year but are yet to be confirmed for 2016. I will not be listing events which were cancelled in 2015 until they are confirmed for 2016. And to cover my back, prices in different currencies have been rounded up or down, and they may fluctuate slightly (exchange rate). Oh and stuff always happens, so everything is subject to change! As always, please please let me know if I have missed anything in the comments!
