I love Great Yarmouth in all its funfair, ice-cream, sticks-of-rock, road train, amusement arcades, water gardens, circus, chippy chips, end-of-the-pier glory.
My family’s favourite Norfolk seaside town, Yarmouth is where we head if we want to have fun: the Hippodrome Circus, the Pleasure Beach, The Imperial Hotel, doughnuts on the prom, rides in horse and carts. The town is an essential part of every summer.
My husband - who started his career as a chef in Yarmouth and who loves it even more than I do – and I have become the town’s biggest cheerleaders and so it is with great (Great?) pleasure I present some must-dos for visitors with a little help from Visit Yarmouth.

A popular Hippodrome show can now be watched online after the Covid pandemic forced the cancellation of the live show.
The hit show Pirates Live is a 75-minute film, which has captured the Hippodrome’s unique circus-theatre hybrid show with cinema style shots and a new cast.
it is an all-new version and has Captain Jack Hawkseye and Pirate Johnny played by family favourites Jack Jay and Johnny Mac battling the evil pirate Blackeye played by James Franklin trying to invade the Port of Great Yarmouth and steal its precious treasure.
