Bunnies hop to it at Doncaster Racecourse

THE COUNTRY’s longest running and biggest show of its kind featuring more than 2,500 small animals attracted huge audiences when it was staged in Yorkshire.

The Bradford Premier Small Animal Show, which was held in the Lazarus Exhibition Hall at Doncaster Racecourse, saw hundreds of breeders come together to celebrate the best cavies, gerbils, hamsters, mice, rabbits and rats from across the UK.

The show has been a key date in the small animal world since 1921 and this year was no exception, attracting more fanciers and smaller animal lovers than ever before.
