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.

I went with a group of friends to a comedy club show, which was great value. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Well worth supporting. Will go again when in Eastbourne.

Tonight I went to this beautiful theatre which is run by hard working volunteers. It's a stunning old theatre with grand decor. The show we saw was viva variety which was outstanding. Good all round entertainment. Prices for tickets were very good along with refreshments reasonably priced. Huge thanks to all the work everyone puts in to this venue. The jewel in Eastbourne' s crown. If you haven't been to this theatre then please do go.

Great time at the luther uk concert. As usual ignorant and drunk me, me ,me people who wanted to talk all the way through. Nice little theatre they were collecting for refurbishment? They must make a fair bit with concerts at £30 a go.

I have just finished a shift as Duty Manager for the Viva Variety show.
As the guests were leaving they all commented on how good the show is and one lady in particular called to to one side. She explained that she has been on many cruise ships and the entertainment she experienced at our theatre was far superior to anything she had seen on the cruises. She said the acts were first class and the 4 men in particular should be on Britain’s got Talent. She was amazed that all the “stars” of the show are working people who have day jobs and do this show every Wednesday.
Great to receive amazing feedback. She asked me to post this as she wasn’t sure about the internet or trip advisor and I was happy to oblige.

This lovely theatre has been restored and appears to be run by some very devoted and enthusiastic people. We saw their 2019 summer show, "Viva Variety" which we enjoyed very much. The multi-talented cast were brilliant & we had a marvelous evening. I would recommend this theatre and its productions to anyone wanting first class entertainment in superb & evocative surroundings.

Lovely renovated theatre with excellent views from the circle, quite small so you don't feel lost in a huge venue.
