Latest Reviews
Been to this theatre many times and this was my first time since the refurb. Great show by 10cc and what i would expected from a great band.
Cart really say much about the refurb. For 2 years closed it looks just the same.
The theatre was clean as before , bar staff and stewards were friendly, but overall the theatre to me was just as good as it is now.

Fantastic rebuild of this '60s theatre thoroughly good acoustics and a good priced bar, 10cc played an excellent set.

The air conditioning, at the Congress is obviously new. However it's not always a healthy advantage! Taking my seat yesterday evening, a continual blast of freezing cold air was the talking point of the evening rather than watching the show! Everyone was feeling the icy blast and all putting our coats back on, but even wearing a coat didn't prevent the shivers, and make the experience uncomfortable. May I request that the person/s responsible for the air conditioning, actually sit in the auditorium, and experience what you are inflicting on your paying audience.

The theatre has great acoustics and is very comfortable since it's been refurbished. It looks good too and should attract some decent shows.

Yes, the refurb has improved the ageing theatre with new air conditioning, seats and i'm sure a whole host of behind the scenes improvements, but after being closed for two years to complete the works we just felt a little underwhelmed by what we saw. Having said that, the Congress is still a great venue and the brand new Welcome building can only enhance the theatre going experience.

Recently internally refurbished venue. Greatly improved acoustics and modernised. Not sure why it took so long though, Eastbourne missed the theatre after the years it took to fix up the outside

Eastbourne's re-born theatre, very good now.

Brilliant new theatre in the cultural heart of Eastbourne. Beautifully designed seating, with clear lines of sight throughout. Friendly staff, and lots of toilets, bars, and snacks to nibble on. Easy to book on their website, and definitely worth adding to your Eastbourne itinerary.

A well organised modern theatre created in an 70's/80's style.

It has been refurbished really well. The seating is good. Staff are friendly and polite. A great experience. Would highly recommend.

Wow! What a theatre. So modern for Eastbourne. Very impressive. Good service at the bar and friendly stewards. My only concern was the acoustics of the production. The actors voices seem to be lost on stage. A little echoey, not very clear and distant. Perhaps it’s better miked up for music. The play we saw was very good.

New seats are small & not that comfortable. Card payments not working! Expected a bit better for all that time closed & all the expense
