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.

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
