The Hippodrome Circus Great Yarmouth

The Hippodrome Circus is one of Great Yarmouth's most iconic attractions and one of only three purpose-built circus buildings remaining in the world. Built in 1903, this stunning venue hosts world-class circus shows throughout the year.

2026 Shows

The circus runs seasonal shows throughout the year. Easter brings the spectacular Pirates Live adventure. The Summer Spectacular features the legendary Water Spectacular, where the circus ring floods with water for an unforgettable finale. Halloween sees the Spooktacular show, and Christmas brings festive family entertainment.

A Unique Experience

Unlike modern touring circuses, the Hippodrome offers an intimate theatre experience with state-of-the-art production values. Expect acrobats, aerialists, comedians and spectacular water-based stunts that will leave you breathless. The building itself is worth visiting for its beautiful Edwardian architecture.
