This theatre is honestly like our second home. It is beautiful inside and out and we love visiting there. The Hippodrome offers the best in all aspects of music and the arts and it deserves to win as its the best theatre around.

Such a lovely theatre with a real warm, friendly, family feel, which hosts a variety of shows to suit all tastes. The theatre offers local children the opportunity to perform on stage. Alex and Debbie have worked hard on the refurbishment.

Staff are helpful. I'm short but the legroom looked good (even for the very tall man sitting next to me). The front row is very close to the stage. I imagine you would have a good view wherever you sit. Thoroughly enjoyed the panto I went to see.

Wonderful theatre under great management whose shows cater for such a diverse range of theatrical and musical interests. In particular it is especially strong in developing children's interest in the theatre and giving them the opportunity of performing on stage.
