Roll Up, Roll Up! Your Guide to the Great Yarmouth Hippodrome Summer Circus

The Great Yarmouth Hippodrome is a local treasure, a building steeped in history and brimming with entertainment. For over a century, it has been wowing audiences with its spectacular circus performances, and the Summer Show is a highlight of the year. If you're planning a trip to Great Yarmouth this summer, you absolutely must include a visit to this iconic venue. Located a short distance from the St George Hotel, the Hippodrome offers an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

What to Expect at the Summer Show

The Summer Show at the Hippodrome is a dazzling spectacle, blending traditional circus acts with modern flair. Expect to see talented acrobats, hilarious clowns, daring aerialists, and impressive animal acts (subject to change, please check the Hippodrome website). The show is designed to appeal to all ages, with plenty of laughs and gasps to keep everyone entertained.

Each year the show brings something new, so even if you've been before, you're guaranteed a fresh and exciting experience. The Hippodrome is unique as it is one of only three purpose built Circus buildings left in the world and the only one with a circus ring that can turn into a swimming pool!
