Popocalypse: Fill the Room and Face the Boom!
Ready for an awesome memory?
One of our Purely Social - Under 35s members is turning 10,000 days old this Friday—and they’ve decided to celebrate in the most unexpected way: by conquering their fear of balloons!
To do this, they've hired a hall, gathered a ridiculous number of balloons, and stocked up on electric pumps—all so we can help them fill the space with colour and chaos… before joyfully unleashing a Balloon Popocalypse!
Yes, it's a strange event. And yes, it's also fun, wholesome, and wonderfully ridiculous. How often do you get to be this silly just for the joy of it?

2:00 – 2:30pm: Optional chill break – grab a drink or snack from nearby Tesco
2:30 – 3:30pm: The Balloon Popocalypse begins! Pop them any way you like—stomp, squish, jab with your keys…
3:30 – 4:00pm: Tidy up together
Optional challenge: For the brave, a balloon-popping speed race to see who can inflate and pop the fastest (totally voluntary!).

Important Notes:
If you're scared of popping balloons too, you're not alone—this is exposure therapy with a smile, and earplugs will be provided!
Come for any part: you can just help inflate, just pop, or do the whole thing.
Be gentle while inflating—no premature pops, please!
Finding the venue:
Coming from Harrogate? Turn left at the Tesco Express traffic lights.
From Ripon? Turn right.
The road curves left—look for a small entrance to a car park on your right just after. We’ll mark it with balloons to help you find it!

Let's make this silly, heartwarming idea into something truly unforgettable. Hope to see you there!
