Our Shows

Often with over 150 hamsters on show in the main show, the majority of our shows are free to come in and have a look around. At our shows you will find hamsters of the five species commonly kept as pets in the UK, with many colours and coat types that you’re unlikely to see in pet shops. Our members would love to welcome you and are on hand to share tips and stories about hamster care.

2017 Show Dates
