About Event

Ready for a very special event? :D

9th May is one of our organiser's (James) 10,000th day on earth and he thought he'd celebrate it by hiring out a hall and asking as many people as possible to fill it with balloons which he will provide.

The first 2 1/2 hours will be inflating as many balloons as you can either by mouth or we do have a couple of electric balloon pumps, during this stage we ask everyone to not purposely inflate there balloons too big that they intensively burst while inflating them, I know pops will be inevitable but I'd like to minimise it if possible.

The next hour will be having fun and bursting all of the balloons, running around and popping as many balloons as you can, and once all of the balloons are popped then there will be a race to see who can blow up a balloon until it bursts first, just for a bit of fun

The last half an hour will be cleaning up all of the burst balloon pieces and putting them in bin bags to make the hall nice and tidy.

Those people who just want to come for the popping only are more than welcome, that will start at 4:30pm, vise versa if people want to come just to inflate as many balloons as possible and leave before we start popping them all then they're more than welcome The whole reason we're doing this is to try to get James used to balloons to try his best to overcome his phobia of them popping, also we will be providing memory foam ear buds for anyone who would like them as popping balloons will be quite loud

PS: You can bring food/drinks with you if you like - there is also a Tesco nearby if getting snacky
