Royal Hippodrome Theatre
Latest Reviews
Went to see a ELO tribute band (which was great the way). The theatre is compact and in fantastic condition. The interior decor has been thoughtfully restored to match what you'd expect from the mid-20 century.
Lovely little well-stocked bar. Clean toikets. Pretty much all seats have a good view of the stage. Staff are (mostly) volunteers and take pride in their work. Would have been five stars except the sound system (or mixl wasn't quite top notch. Bass over-powerd strings, very slight distortion, not quite the clarity that woukd be ideal, a little muddy. Not sure if this is the equipment, the mix or the band. If you've never been before, and like us, don't know anything about this place, then rest assured, it's worth a visit!

Visited here many times with my daughter . We love the theatre and have watched many shows that have been on locally . The theatre is clean and bright, staff and chaperones are around to help assist people where they need to go to find there seats . There is generally a break between shows with drinks , ice cream and light snacks available to purchase . Toilets and disabled ♿
I would highly recommend visiting here for shows .

This is a lovely little theatre just off behind the coastal road. We went there to watch Let There Be Love, which wad an absolutely fantastic show, it was full of great singing, dancing and humour. Our country needs little theatres like this to stay open!

Great national treasure 150 years old. Wonderful staff and a very varied programme. Go you will not be disappointed. Eastbourne residents are very lucky to have this in their town and far more reasonably priced than many other areas

A lovely theatre, ornate mouldings and comfy seats.
All seats have a good view of the stage.
The bar is to the side of the main seating area. Quite quaint and a nice venue to visit. Very friendly and helpful staff/volunteers.

My wife and I, both of us senior citizens, were down from Leicester for a few days and we decided to book tickets for the Screaming Blue Murder Comedy Club, which cost us £12 per ticket, which, now that we’ve attended the show, was superb value. We really didn’t know what to expect paying so little for tickets, and assumed that it would be a bit amateurish, but we were totally wrong as it was so very polished and totally enjoyable. We’d never been in this theatre before, and we loved the fact that it was from another period and took you back to that time as it was beautifully decorated. We went to the bar and got a couple of drinks – the prices were reasonable and the bar staff friendly, as were all members of staff that we met. We sat down in our booked seats in the auditorium, but we were told by the staff that we could move forward if we so wished, which we did – it wasn’t a sell-out, so people were asked to move forward to build up the atmosphere, and some did, but others chose not to on the invitation of the compere, so left themselves wide open to being part of the show due to their reticence, which was quite amusing. Anyway, the compere was hugely funny, and each of the three comedians were funny in totally different ways, so just a thoroughly enjoyable night. We would look to book anything that was on in this theatre if we ever revisited Eastbourne, and would definitely book to attend the comedy club again.

Booked online for a matinee performance, of Priscilla Queen of the desert, sat in the stalls 7 rows back from the stage, excellent view and enjoyed the performance, it’s a good little theatre , quite small in comparison with other theatres in London but still had a good atmosphere.
£22 was value for money compared with a west end show that would cost in the region of four times the amount..
The performance was authentic and the chemistry between the cast was extremely good and funny. Enjoyed all the songs and would highly recommend..
