Visitors to Great Yarmouth's historic Hippodrome Circus, are in for a special treat this March when Electric Hamster Racing takes to its stage.

One of the UK's oldest fixed circuses, the historic venue has seen its share of spectacles but world premiere of The Incredible (but True) Story of Hamster Racing… (with a Touch of Gerbil) is set to be an hilarious theatrical extravaganza.

Taking place for one night only on 8th March, the unique two-hour show will follow Electric Hamster Racing's journey from a quirky pub sport to a national festival sensation - blending storytelling, comedy, and interactive hamster hi-jinks. Adding to the excitement, the night will be filmed for the finale of an upcoming documentary.

Tickets, which include a play-along racecard, cost £10 (18+ only).  The show starts at 7.30pm with an afterparty from 10pm-4am at The Empire, featuring DJs and a psychedelic ceilidh band. For more information T: 01493 738877 or visit www.hippodromecircus.co.uk
