A spacious, well equipped theatre near to the seafront and it hosts a large variety of productions over the whole year.

Fantastic show. The host, Grant Martins, is very funny and keeps the show flowing brilliantly. There are plenty of well know songs, comedy and fabulous dancing with fantastic costumes. The Play That Went Wrong sketch is hilarious. Definitely with seeing 😀

The Royal Hippodrome is a delightful theatre with a wonderful history. Much of the original architecture has been restored and there is always a great assortment of entertainment throughout the year. They have a dedicated website and because productions are varied there is something for everyone, from children's shows to pop concerts, musicals, comedy one nighters and Christmas shows. If you are visiting Eastbourne make sure you check out The Royal Hippodrome.

An excellent rendition of this very silly story.
The players seemed to find it as enjoyable as the audience.

I have seen a few local shows here! It is a pretty little theatre in a not so ideal location.. but done nice little shoes are put on & an enthusiastic " friends " society that try to keep the theatre boyant . Would be sad to see it close after do many years if it did have to , it's a part of the charm of Eastbourne

Wonderful show, very attentive staff. Theatre needs an upgrade, but plenty of leg room, programmes really cheap, as were the ice creams.

Lovely old theatre puts on some good shows. Needs patronage. Do not let this theatre go into decline.

Great theatre show with the original script and songs, and a little contemporary jokes for laughs.
Really enjoyed it.
The Hippodrome volunteer staff were really friendly and professional, advised with seating, reasonably priced snacks.
Great experience for a reasonable price.

I've been to a few shows here recently and it's a lovely venue although looking a little tired. Lovely bar, clean facilities and nothing is over priced.

staff were friendly and helpful. The show was an amateur production, but of such a good enough quality that we only knew for sure by checking the website later. The theatre is old, but clearly loved. It was and enjoyable evening. My sense was that the cast and audience were equally having fun.

Good show. The compare especially worked his socks off and some of the acts had us laughing out loud. The kids were cute and the singing was a higher standard than you would expect from a local show. The theatre was small enough to feel intimate and run by cheerful volunteers.

We visited the Right Royal Variety Performance and were thoroughly entertained by the high standard of the performance. Good singing, dancing and light-hearted comedy. Just right for traditional seaside entertainment.
