Intimate theatre with lots of character. We went to see West End Divas. Great seats in the stalls & a fabulous trio of female performers smashing out memorable songs from theatre & musicals. The Abba finale was particularly outstanding & got the audience on their feet dancing & singing away.

I love this theatre and go each year for a musical or two. While the performances are top notch, the building itself could use some upkeep. The seats are not comfortable for long use and the bathrooms are run down. But overall I highly recommend seeing a play here. The staff are amazing!

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!

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
