A lovely old theatre....rather tired and shabby now, but it's size gives it wonderful intimacy missing from larger more modern theatres.

Thoroughly enjoyable evening. An excellent show in a charming traditional old style theatre. Booked at the last minute, so not much choice of seats, but still had a really good view.

In desperate need of renovation. Beautiful Victorian building in its hey day but now the seats are threadbare ( although
Comfy). The staff were courteous and efficient.

Excellent venue. Super sound system. Intimate surroundings made for a wonderful show. Belinda Davids truly was "Whitney Houston" and the musicians, dancers and back up singers combined beautifully. The quality of artists for other shows is also first rate. We will most certainly visit again and often.

Choose seats carefully to avoid restricted views. Great atmosphere inside and very helpful staff. Needs better control of audience in musicals - standing/dancing MUST be stopped!

This theater is a real treat. The leg room is extensive and the seats very comfortable. The staff were attentive and nothing was too much trouble to ensure my comfort was paramount as I have slight mobility issues. All during the performance they checked that all was well. As the theater is quite small the view of the stage is brilliant. I would agree with others though the parking is an absolute nightmare and you have to be there a good hour before to try and find something suitable.

Went to see 'Spooky Mens Chorale' this evening at the Royal Hippodrome Theatre. What a pleasant venue, with a very intimate auditorium. Sat in the stalls, which gave an excellent view of the stage, so we were able to enjoy the whole show. The theatre is immaculate, seating is comfortable with plenty of leg room & the facilities were excellent. The staff were both pleasant & courteous, a real credit and we cant wait to return in the very near future. Thank you for a pleasureable evening.

What a delightful theatre this is! Tucked away in Seaside road, it can easily be missed as it looks like a shop from the front. Step inside though and you will walk into an auditorium that is just like a slightly smaller version of the Devonshire park theatre. Although it is staffed by volunteers, there's nothing amateurish about this theatre. It is one of Eastbourne's many cherished assets.
