The Ball Ring 2008

Home

Saturday 16th February

After a year off, it's back! Purple Mermaid's very own Juggling Convention is going to once more take over the Guild of Students for the day. With multiple juggling rooms, workshops and both a renegade and professional show, we hope it will be another hit!

Limited Crash Space may be available: please email for details.

There'll be Games/Workshops/Trader and more...

The convention is back in a familiar setting: in the Guild of Students, Edgbaston Park Road, Edbaston (just off Bristol Road in Selly Oak). There's a student priced shop and a bar on site, as well as many pubs and other food outlets a five minute walk away. We're also only 5 minutes from the University train station!

Further details such as acts are to be announced, so please keep checking back for updates.
And while you wait, check out the video of the last Ballring!
