The Northern Hamster Club hold about 12 shows a year, shows are held at galas, agricultural events, community centres and church halls. All our shows are worth a visit, so why not bring your pet along and enter it in our pet class* which we hold for the public. Our pet class is for any small and furry pet such as hamsters, rats, mice, guinea pigs, gerbils and rabbits. A full list of shows can be found on the Website.

The Northern Hamster Club has a hard working Committee and a number of dedicated people and Judges who you wil be most likely to bump into at one of our shows. Any of these members will be happy to answer questions you have relating to hamsters or the Club.
