I've visited the theatre twice in the past month once for Jim Davison and Nathan Carter. The venue is very beautiful inside it doesn't look much from the outside the theatre staff are brilliant very helpful and friendly most of them are volunteers. The bar prices are very fair, and they take cash and card. Most venues have now stopped taking cash I will be back for another show here

Overall a nice small old theater.
Seat was comfortable and plenty of leg room (I'm 6'2ft), this was of course my seat and may not be the same for everyone. Bar is small but overall ok.

Superb, lovely traditional theatre. I believe that volunteers contribute a huge amount to the running of the hippodrome, and their passion and love for the place is evident.
Have only sat in the stalls on my 3 previous visits, so plan to try the upper circle next time, however the theatre is a real hidden gem.

We recently watched the Christmas panto Snow White, which was really good fun. The children enjoyed it and there were plenty of laughs for the grown ups too.
The theatre itself is lovely, very nostalgic, and the staff are all ultra friendly and helpful.

Ein wunderbares über 100 Jahre altes Theater. Perfekter Blick auf die Bühne. Tolle Snackangebote.
Wir haben uns Schneewittchen und die sieben Zwerge in der Weihnachts-Panto angesehen. Das war grandios. Witzig und sehr unterhaltsam. Die Darsteller einfach großartig. Ich würde mir dort jederzeit wieder eine Aufführung ansehen.

Friendly people seeing us in and to our seats. Lovely theatre. Good bar for the interval 😊 It is an old building so one has to make allowances for the toilet flushing or not but they said they'd sort it. 😅 Great panto time had by all.
