Went for Dinosaur Adventure show, staff were nice, snacks were shop price and not extortionate which is so rare to see, but in the balcony I really struggled with leg room as u can't stretch out at all which is a problem for me as I have a bad knee. Music seemed a bit loud for kids

We went to see the pantomime. Very helpful with getting the best price for our family dynamics: disabled, carers, pensioners, school/college goers etc! Very complex. Anyway they helped me to book suitable seats too. Plenty of people who can help you find your place, bar and book/prepay for ice cream, which is brought to you during the interval! Seats were great (stalls) great view. Toilets handy and clean. Bar nearby in seat area too! We had a lovely time. Only issue is parking, but the taxi solved that.

What a beautiful theatre and the volunteers who work there were so lovely and so helpful, I loved the nice touch around giving me the history of the Theatre, just lovely. We don't have this in Australia that's for sure. The shows there are phenomenal too, I went to the Sleeping Beauty pantomime and what a treat, so bloody great and talk about laugh at the side jokes. If I lived in Eastbourne I'd go to all their shows there. Nice work, Jo from Brisbane Australia

Wonderful Sleeping Beauty production this year. So many changes of sparkling costumes for all the cast who obviously enjoy working together. Local references and up to the minute remarks understood by children as well as some for the adults. A very professional and talented cast of characters.
