We always visit the Hippodrome Theatre when holidaying in Eastbourne. Highlights include the resident musical show which runs throughout the summer season and the British Music Hall Society's annual 'Day By The Sea' festival of entertainment.

Always puts the best shows on and you always get a good price for you ticket or tickets if you go with friends. And a very warm welcome from the staff. They all do a very great job. And for me it's only a short walk from home.

Sat in the mid balcony, very little leg room. Seating Down stairs much more leg room and more comfortable seats. Theatre very clean and well run. Shame about the seating in lower balcony..

Have visited here on many occasions. We particularly like watching some great comedians. We love this very old building and it's nice to see so many volunteers giving their time to keep it going.

It's a small but nice theatre. I like catching shows at the Hippodrome. Good place to be entertained in Eastbourne.

The past few years have seen this beautiful theatre gradually being brought back to life by an amazing team of dedicated people. It's a work in progress which makes it even more interesting to visit! Some great and varied offerings throughout the year, great ticket prices! Comfy seats with good legroom and views, just a lovely atmospheric place to be. Lovely staff.

Very pleasant little theatre, good sound, comfy seats, cheap refreshments, helpful staff. All on road parking but if you don't mind not being right outside there are spaces to be found for free.

Enjoyed Lindisfarne last Sat night.... Staff enthusiastic. Lot of restoration work has been done. Collection bucket at the end to help pay for new carpet to entrance hall.... Good idea. A place for live gigs is needed in Eastbourne

This is a theatre full of character. It is clear that they are working hard to fully renovate this theatre. The staff were volunteers and they were really friendly and were genuinely grateful that we were there as customers. The seats are spacious and there is plenty of legroom. We were in the Dress Circle (A3 and A4) and had a great view. Overall, a lovely place to visit.... and The Drifters were great.

Been waiting years to go to the Royal Hippodrome Theatre, Eastbourne and was not disappointed. Greeted by friendly staff and when entering the stalls the feel was delightful. Chairs very comfortable, view excellent and the atmosphere it generates is wonderful. Thoroughly recommend and thank you for making it an unforgettable evening.
