Hippodrome owner Peter Jay said pre-bookings are at a record high.

“It's going to be an amazing show," he said.

"I advise everybody not to miss this incredible show and book early, as many of the shows will sell out. May I also take this opportunity to wish all our many supporters a Merry Christmas and a great New Year.”

The Christmas Spectacular and Water Show runs until January 7.
