The Hippodrome Theatre has had a new lease of life thanks to Alex and Debbie and all the wonderful staff and volunteers. It’s the heart of the town where magic, excitement and imagination comes alive.

A piece of Eastbourne history that could easily be overlooked due to many years of neglect from EBC however, under new management this theatre is being refurbished and going from strength to strength it hosts popular shows for the entire family, at reasonable prices it’s a joy to visit and be welcomed by a fantastic team of volunteers who love the theatre and hence give their time willingly A truly special place

This theatre brings back that excitement you get from when you would visit the theatre as a child. The new decor throughout the building has really brought back the glamour the theatre deserves. A wide variety of shows are always on throughout the year suitable for all audiences. Booking tickets is made simple and prices are reasonable. I've never come away from a show at this theatre without a smile on my face, would highly recommend.

The Royal Hippodrome is not only a fantastic entertainment venue offering a huge variety of plays musicals, concerts and cabaret entertainment, but also a historic building that in recent years has been like a Phoenix rising from the ashes and has been restored tastefully. The Hippodrome offers a warm welcome from the moment you book a ticket arrive at the theatre served at the bar and shown to your seat. It puts customer service at the heart of its business. In 2019 I visited the theatre over 20 times and have left with many happy memories. Keep doing what you do well bringing live theatre to the community of Eastbourne.

The beautiful theatre is being restored and updated by two dedicated and hardworking people Alex and Debbie Adams. The amount of work and love being put into this building is so worth them winning Business of the Year.

Lovely little theatre, very personal and great views of the performance. Staff polite and friendly, only issue really is the price of drinks but I suppose that's to be expected in this sort of venue.

This theatre has just been refurbished and it is an old Victorian Music Hall. Very traditional inside with basic seats and fitments but all brand new apart form the toilets which are planned for a revamp. I think it is run by volunteers who do a good job and the prices are reasonable. It is in quite a rowdy area of town which is relevant when you are leaving late at night. I saw Oklahoma which was a classic performance, again with volunteers from dance schools. It was polished with great vocals from the main players although the theatre was only about half full which detracts form the atmosphere. Well worth a visit to view inside.

I just love this theatre. Steeped in history and in the last 3 years has been like a Phoenix rising from the ashes. It is looking beautiful again and the programme of entertainment gets better and better
