A circus performer was taken to hospital after falling from a large performance wheel during a show.
The male cast member fell an estimated 13ft-16ft (4m-5m) at the Hippodrome Circus in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, on Wednesday evening, the venue said.
He remained conscious throughout and is thought to have suffered injuries to his arm, shoulder and leg.
He was evaluated overnight and is believed to be in a stable condition.
We are all wishing a speedy recovery for our fellow cast member
The show, called the Christmas Spectacular, was stopped for the evening and the audience was asked to leave the venue.
No other performers or members of the public were hurt.
The venue said it is “unlikely” the acrobat will be able to return to the show this season but is “hopeful” he will perform again after some recovery time.
A spokesman for the Christmas Spectacular said: “Obviously this sort of event is scary for all involved. We are all wishing a speedy recovery for our fellow cast member.
“We would like to pass on our thanks to the audience in attendance, who were very understanding and remained calm.”
