Devonshire Park Theatre
Latest Reviews
Gorgeous and camp old fashioned theatre, great programme this year. So much nicer than the soulless Congress next door which is currently closed. Need more people on bar duty though!

An excellent and very funny play. What a lovely theatre, such atmosphere and many of the staff working there are Friends of Devonshire Park Threatre, doing a stint for nothing. A seat in the Dress Circle front row and you have an amazing all round view of the stage.

We went as a family for my daughters first trip to the theatre. I am so happy it was in such a lovely traditional theatre. The show was great too. She wants to go every week!

We went to see "A Judgement in Stone". The theatre is not big and the facilities could do with some tender loving care (for which plans are afoot), but it gets good productions with great casts. Very enjoyable. The auditorium is beautiful - a masterpiece of this era of theatrical design.

Lovely theatre. Currently getting a makeover so will look even better in a few months.

This is a beautiful little theatre offering a wide variety of shows and plays. Well worth a visit when visiting Eastbourne just to admire the lovely interior of a Victorian theatre.

What a beautiful old tradition theatre. We went to see Rent the musical and what a fantastic show it was. Well worth the money.
We sat in seats D16/17 in the stalls and had great sight lines. The sound quality was excellent. The seats were comfortable and offer good leg room.
The inside of the theatre is beautifully elaborately decorated with a gorgeous dome roof birth in the foyer and in the restaurant. It's not a big theatre more on the cosy side, but lovely.

The Devonshire Park Theatre is a very traditional Victorian Theatre. However, the seats are comfortable and there is enough leg room for the majority. It could do with a lick of paint and some of the ornate plasterwork needs re-touching, but this is nit-picking. All of its flaws add character.
I saw "Rent: The Musical" and it was absolutely superb. So moving I actually left in tears. The cast and crew of this touring production did an amazing job.
The only let down was that the theatre was half empty which is a shame considering the excellent quality of the show. However, it was a week-day matinee I attended and I was told by one of the very friendly ushers that the evening performances were nearly sold out. On that note, I'd recommend going to this theatre in the evening to add to the atmosphere and build-up before the performance.

Regular visitor to this theatre from beyond Tunbridge Wells. It is worth the drive. Their shows are always first class. The pantomime this year was again hilarious and the first with the grandchildren.

There is no better place to sit and watch a Murder Mystery than in the Grand circle of the Devonshire park Theatre, Recently given a face lift this small and perfectly formed theatre is a joy from the moment you walk up the little drive, get your tickets from the little ticket booth, get shown to your seat by the smart attendant, have a little GT at the bar in the interval, and leave into the cold winter air having for a few hours been transported to another time and another place, a very big experience.

brilliant panto with so much slapstick humour. The theatre venue is wonderful too with still so much olde worde charm. The trio of Herbie, Prince Simon and Dotty had to be seen!! I laughed so much I nearly wet my pants!! Cant wait till next year.

Every year I take my family to the best panto I have been to every year its so very funny and we all love it. The theatre staff are all very friendly and happy.... But the production of Snow White was very disappointing, it was a very weird set up with the seven dwarfs and it was cringing to watch not as good as former pantomime's but apart from that it was as entertaining as ever and highly recommended

What a great night. Went to Snow White panto, 1st time at a panto for a long time, and wondered why we had left it for so long. All the cast were excellent and the theatre is beautiful.

We are very grateful to the staff who made sure we were able to stay and see the show despite our seats being unsuitable for us. They moved us to better seats and enabled us to have a great experience at the annual pantomime. It was one of the best shows we have seemn. Thank you to the lady who was front of house.

Great afternoon at the Eastbourne Pantomime seeing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Typical panto humour which appealed to the whole family. Theatre is a bit dated but clean. There should be a rule though that customers who have seats in the middle of rows should be made to arrive earlier than us on the ends
Good show, good value

Fab panto for all the family. Really well con-temporised with music, fireworks, jokes and audience participation. Best I've seen. 7 and 5 year olds loved it.

Loved Snow white and the seven dwarves. It was such a funny panto. Who thought you could have so much fun with 5 toilet rolls. You have to see it. This is our 4th year of pantos here and they are always so good. The whole family can have a laugh. There is humour for the children and adults. It was a great evening with my daughter and 2 grandsons. Its a lovely theatre and i think well loved. The actors are amazing at what they do. Great family fun. Its not christmas without a panto. We will be back here next christmas. 😃

We took my 3 1/2 year old grandson to his first panto. It didn't disappoint and he was enthralled throughout despite it lasting for more than 2 1/2 hours.
Hugely entertaining.

Another good year for the cast in 2016 with a very funny but slightly odd panto. As usual the laughs came thick and fast but some of the serious dialogue was a little tiring and long so we found our attention wandering. The dwarfs were very odd - children's bodies with huge plaster cast heads as a depiction of the dwarfs but then the dialogue was that of older men and played to the audience via the speakers. Strange. Shame we didn't see Denise but the lady who covered for her was great. early days and I'm sure they will learn more lines as the show goes on - its still very funny when they get it wrong!! We'll be there again next year. Thanks for the smiles.

Went to see the opening night of 2016 panto, well done everyone! Superb performance, loved the sausage scene and the 12 days of Christmas scene, did not go last year as we did not fancy Peter Pan, but glad we went this year with our three kids, age range from 8-14 years! Been many times in previous years, and I would say this is one of the most enjoyable, along with beauty beast starrring the late Nolan sister. Already booked front row for next year!!Opening night!!!

Really nice old fashioned traditional theatre. But was lacking a bar. Or at least we didn't find one
