We enjoyed every minute of it. Danny was extremely entertaining. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The inside of the building was fine and the seating was authentic and atmospheric. The outside of the building looked very run down.

More than 3 hours passed far too quickly with hilarious anecdotes, I didn't want the evening to end.
Roll on the next instalment of his life. The world seems a better place when described by Danny Baker .

Lovely old theatre but needs serious investment. Run mainly by volunteers who are very welcoming. However I feel that unless funds can be raised the venue will not have a long term future which would be very upsetting

This was my first visit to the Royal Hippodrome Theatre in Eastbourne and also my children's first to a theatre. I have two children aged 6 and 3 and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were sat up in the dress circle and I was a bit worried they may not be able to see the stage. But the view was great - plus booster seats were offered which made it even better. Would definitely return.

This is the 3rd Easter panto we have been to at the theatre. This one was one of the best. Do not know what that guy who gave a 2 is thinking about!! My 7 year old did not stop laughing at the crabs - that bit with the film titles - hilarious. Yes it's full of innuendo - but all pantomimes are! Thought the sea witch was fabulous - best villain ever seen in a panto. Can't wait until Alice in wonderland next Easter!! Well done RHT hope you keep going against the odds

A very enjoyable evening spent by my wife and I listening to The Dubliners tribute band in this intimate Victorian Theatre. It still has the charm and intimacy that no doubt made it a popular venue in Victorian times.
We were four rows back from the stage, which because there is only leg room space and no walk through between the front row and the stage, placed us closer to the stage than is usual in most more modern theatres.
The staff are friendly and helpful.
Occasional guided tours of the theatre occur during the year as part of walking tours ( East of the pier ) This gives access to the ' back stage ' and private box stairways.

On the evening of the 12 June 2015 I attend my graduation ball at the Afton.
I was one of the organiser and can not fault the hotel at all.
They were so helpful from the first phone call to enquire about the venue to the point of us stepping out the door at the end.
The hotel staff helped make the night truly memorable.
I would not hesitate to use them for a party in the future.
Thank you!!!
