Really enjoyed Roman Romp! Very funny adult comedy. The refit to the theatre certainly is noticeable on arrival.

Is a very old historic building that has been given a new lease of life and is getting the best people/groups etc into eastbourne revitalising the tired end of the town. Beautiful building with lots of stories from years gone by including ghosts!

A lovely little theatre, in which i have grown up performing in! The new owners, Debbie and Alex, are such lovely people and are doing such a wonderful job with making the theatre look beautiful again. Definitely would describe this place as the ‘best business in Eastbourne’!

The Hippodrome is a great venue with such a wide variety of shows to see - there really is something for everyone. It has a cosy, intimate feel and the staff/volunteers are always helpful, friendly and welcoming. They are slowly restoring the theatre to its former glory so is well worth a visit, also I can recommend the backstage tour - it’s fascinating.

Quaint is how I would describe it, like stepping back in time to the 1950's. Difficult parking, only on the sea front or side streets.
