Congress Theatre
Latest Reviews
The bar at The Winter Garden Theatre is truly dreadful, with people queuing for an absolute age to get a drink. Why don't they get more bar staff in and open both bars, their wages would more than be covered by the extra takings in the tills. The bar is just a shambles at the moment, but I know this is not the fault of the bar staff. During the show, The Bowie Experience, people were dancing at the back of theatre. This is fine in itself and it is great to see people enjoying themselves, but they were totally blocking the exit! The stewards/security should have shepherded them away from the exits, but the stewards/security all appeared to have gone walkabout tonight. Strangely enough they were guarding the bar doors just before the intermission, to make sure nobody entered the bar too early-why was this even necessary? Where were the security when people were blocking the exit at the back of the theatre later in the evening ? They had drifted away and were later spotted up in the foyer when we were leaving the theatre. It was totally shambolic!!

Very enjoyable evening, the artists were first class. It's a shame that this venue is closing soon for refurbishment.

I last saw Swan Lake in the theatre.
The performances I've seen have been good and I know the theatre is to be closed and refurbished at the end of the year.
It's hard to know where best to sit. The Grand Circle feels so far from the stage and the first row has no legroom and is uncomfortable.
In the Stalls the main part is not staggered and your view depends on who is sitting in front of you. The Raised Stalls feels far away again.
I hope that the refurbishment will make substantial improvements. The current seats are very uncomfortable and overall the legroom is poor. The bar area needs to be better dressed with improved seating and tables to stand at, if you choose to. The place needs careful thought to make it a leading theatre, including the attitude of some staff.

What a great venue. The all round view and acoustics were excellent. We were seated in the Grand a Circle which was very well laid out. The actual show with the Hollies was truly fantastic and fully appreciated by the near capacity audience. If you ever visit Eastbourne ensure you take in a show.

We have been many times to see many different shows, plays and concerts. Like many theatres in provincial towns it needs support, which is variable even though what is staged often is as good as anything to be seen in the West End. It is a bit tired, but nonetheless homely. The staff are fine and bookings easy to make. There is much to like.

The Congress is in better shape than many local theatres. Comfy seats with good legroom, friendly staff, good location, and we saw a good show.
