The Cowley Road Fiesta taking place in Headington's South Park offered a chance to sample 'zorbing' in a special arena. Zorbs are plastic globes which can be moved around by a person or person inside. Zorbing was invented in New Zealand and is defined as "a sport in which a participant is secured inside an inner capsule in a large, transparent ball which is then rolled along the ground or down hills".
