Went to see Little Mermaid Jnr with two of my grandchildren. They were absolutely enthralled! The cast were fantastic, professional and mingled amongst the audience during half time for impromptu photos with the kids. It was a superb production by some brilliant young talent - all in good voice! Great effects and just the right length for small children. Only downside - rubbish sweets on sale! My youngsters like just chocolate or popcorn but there was only a small selection on sale - I would have bought some outside if I had known. First time to this old theatre and would definitely go again - very cosy!

I've been to this lovely theatre in Eastbourne twice now and seen two great shows by the Community Theatre there - a really talented group of performers of all ages. This was a visit to see 'The Little Mermaid' and the direction, choreography, singing, design and costumes were really great and much appreciated by the packed house of youngsters and Adults. A perfect half term show. The theatre however would really benefit from some money being spent on it! It's a little tired looking and once the curtain goes up it's pretty cold!! Nothing detracts from the joy of the performances that I have seen there BUT a face-lift for this lovely old theatre would be money very well spent :-)

Was the first time I have been to The Hippodrome and went to see the Little mermaid with my 4 year old. We thought it was wonderful and the staff were brilliant. Parking was a bit of a pain but once we made it to the theatre with minutes to spare we had a great morning and were sad to leave. Only thing that spoiled it was people in the seats behind having a constant picnic!!! Needless to say it kind of ruined the atmosphere but my 4 year old daughter will never forget her first visit to the Hippodrome. Thank you!!

We went to support our granddaughter in the Show and were so proud to see her I this excellent production. Every performer was tailor made for their part and the standard and proffessionalism of the Show was wonderful, well done to the whole team.

We watched Heneritta Hippo with my 3 year old it was brilliant and have booked to go again. My son loved it and the show gets the children involved which is great.

This is a gem in Eastbourne's crown that not a lot of people realise is here. Whilst I saw the Little Mermaid production this wasn't my first time here and every time it never fails to amaze me. Friendly staff, reasonable ticket prices and a beautiful close theatre, this place needs to be supported.

We have been following the Illegal Eagles for some years and must have seen them on 5 or 6 occasions, they seem to improve everytime we see them and the latest line up has taken them up a notch. It was lovely to see them in such a lovely setting and the general ambience and service of the staff was of a high order. We will certainly visit again despite the problems with parking which are not the Theatre's fault, I was'nt expecting to get so much exercise but a long walk to our car did us no harm. Our friends enjoyed it as well, it was there first time there as well and they thought the Illegal Eagles were superb and the setting equally as good.

Nice cosy little theater with good view of stage all round. Only criticism is lack of leg room as I am over six feet tall. built in a time when the average height was well under six feet tall. Band were very good and would go see them again. All in all a good night out

This is the first time I had been to the hippodrome and it certainly won't be the last. Gorgeous little theatre, full of charm and easily accessible. Saw the Illegal Eagles on Friday evening and the show was absolutely brilliant! A fantastic group of multi talented musicians, the music produced was of the highest standard. Truly awesome evening, would happily see them again and have no hesitation recommending them. A must see!
