Royal Hippodrome Theatre
Latest Reviews
Having lived in the area for 5 years and going to the Congress and Devonshire Park regularly, me and my wife only visited the Royal Hippodrome earlier this year for the first time. What a gem of a theatre. Very intimate and the shows that we have seen there, including the recent Rhydian one, were outstanding. The artists we have seen have all praised the theatre and the people who work there and say that it is the first time that they can actually see all of the audience and not just the first couple of rows. When watching the shows, you get more of a feeling of involvement, as the artists are so near. Would totally recommend this great theatre.

Rhydian was very very good as was his band and the very talented support singer Lucy Kay. The whole experience was enhanced by the very helpful and friendly staff.

What a wonderful evening, so different to other theatres, such a warm welcome, we had grand circle seats, and it was so personal, with our own bar, we had a drink before the show, all the ushers were making sure everyone was happy and had what we wanted, then after the show, staff gave us a warm goodnight, and it was just such a friendly old fashioned feel to the whole evening, Rhydian was brilliant, as was Lucy kay, we will be going back again for another show at some point, its well worth the visit, lovely evening.....thank you

Loved Rhydians concert, and also Lucy Kaye was great. I loved the small intimate nature of the Theatre, always my favorite type of venue. I've seen Rhydian in many events, and this was well up to standard, standing ovations. The staff were very helpful and pleasant, and it was lovely to have a few words with .Rhyd afterwards. Keep this lovely little theatre going

When he was singing, he was very good. However, there was much too much of the supporting acts.
He kept going off stage and we had girl singers that did as much singing as he did. The days of support
acts are gone, most of the very top stars do not have support.
My daughter and I found it to be poor value for money because of the few songs that Ryddian actually did.

Went to see Hooray for Hollywood at the Hippodrome last week whilst holidaying in Eastbourne
Excellent show, great cast, wonderful atmosphere and the young girl singing Alfie gave me goose bumps it was a perfect rendition and moving tribute to Cilla.
Highly recommend seeing this show and thank you to Alex, Grant and all the cast for all the laughs

Fantastic show by Wicked Productions. The actors enjoyed the show as much as the audience. When is the next one!

Lovely little theatre full of atmosphere and character. A show that was hilarious for all ages, with an amazing cast of adults and children. Panto at its very best, we are all still laughing about it now. Can't wait to see another show by the Wicked team.

This theatre is the oldest in town, (there are 3 others) it puts on family entertainment and is run by volunteers and the local hoteliers well worth a visit if your holidaying in Eastbourne, they run a summer show on two nights a week plus lots of other shows in between

OK this theatre is showing its age, and is a little rough around the edges, but what an amazing theatre is inside that well worn facade. We have been several times this year and enjoyed the experience each time, the staff are passionate about the place which really helps, if you get a chance to go dont miss it.

I took my mum and dad who are both in their 80 s, and my 12 and 15 year old children to see Treasure Island in Eastbourne and we all had a fabulous
time. It was such fun we did not stop laughing. We are now thinking of going to see the Pantomime at Christmas taking place in Margate.

I took my 3 young grandchildren to see this production and they absolutely loved it as did my daughter and I. The cast worked flat out for the whole show and the comedy routines were amazing! Huge Well Done - terrific value for money!

We took our 5 and 3 year olds to the show as a birthday treat for the youngest. It was his first experience at the theatre and we couldnt have picked a better show as an introduction. Both boys absolutely loved the show, laughing and shouting along and mummy and daddy had a pretty good laugh too. Really was great for all the family.

The inside of the theatre is wonderful, it's steeped in history and would love to see this back to its former glory. The outside of the building needs much work but it's a fantastic building. There isn't a bad seat in the theatre, my daughter was in a production of Treasure Island here which was a fantastic show! This theatre needs more publicity, it's a wonderful, mesmerising place.

My son & I thoroughly enjoyed this "Wicked Productions" Treasure Island.
I love visiting the theatre, but it was a shame to see only a small audience. I think if ticket prices were just slightly lower it would encourage more people.
Great show though - with amazing local dancers 😃

Really entertaining afternoon spent with our twin grandsons at RHT. Treasure Island was two hours of family fun and laughter from a very professional cast who interacted superbly with the audience. Lovely theatre which obviously had much TLC from its volunteers and staff.

My daughter and I had a fantastic time, treasure island was so funny and had the most amazing characters in it. It was amazing value for money and I will definitely be going to the next wicked productions show. I love the royal hippodrome theatre as it has so much character and feel to it.

A gem of a theatre that needs a bit more publicity and support,great seating due to the rake.
Very welcoming and attentive staff and lots of them volunteers I believe. I will be looking out for further events and shows here.

An old theatre in the heart of Eastbourne, a few minutes walk from the pier. We have been to see shows there several times and have always enjoyed our visits. The latest, Treasure Island by Wicked Productions was hilarious but we have not seen a poor show at any time. Staff are friendly, bar prices reasonable and seats are comfortable.
