I thought the lay out of theatre considering the age was very good 1 of the people with me has mobility issues but was able to get in and out without to much struggle or stairs which was great and the price of tickets and drinks was amassing good value

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.

Took 4 kids to see Billionaire Boy. Great show and as usual the staff at the Hippodrome couldn't have been more friendly and helpful.

fantastic little theatre with some much needed love to help the poor old furnishings last a little longer.

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.

An enjoyable day performing at The British Music Hall Society's "Day At The Sea " With The New Foxtrot Serenaders dance show band. I found all the staff and volunteers very friendly and it was a joy to have performed at this wonderful old theatre. Long may it continue.

We've been to several shows at the theatre and it is such a beautiful old building which relies on volunteers to keep it going. Whatever the show please visit just to see the beauty of the old building.

A wonderful Easter pantomime at this historical old theatre. The children loved it and we hope to visit again very soon.

Very entertaining evening listening to Danny Baker’s amusing anecdotes and interesting “life” stories. Although the show was over three hours long, it did not seem like it and we could have happily carried on listening. We look forward to the next instalment!
The Royal Hippodrome Theatre, which is manned by very welcoming and helpful volunteers, is unfortunately a little run down and in need of some attention but, with its very varied entertainment programme throughout the year, it is still well worth a visit.

Great show! My niece loved it. She doesn't usually sit down for long periods of time, but she was glued to this and didn't move once! Also entertaining for adults too, was very funny!
