We went to see The Bohemians last week (who incidentally were absolutely fabulous) and thank goodness we ignored the reviews about the bad seats, because they were absolutely fine. Maybe the circle seats' leg rooms are smaller than the stalls but we were in the stalls and they were absolutely fine (and my girlfriend's 5'10" and hates pokey seats!). The foyer was in the process of refurbishment, and, yes, was a little tatty, but I assume that will soon be fixed.
Sure, the theatre is showing its age a little, here and there, but if I look that good aged 150, I'll be well chuffed! We had a super night out for the princely sum of £26 each INCLUDING beers before and GnTs in the interval!
A refreshing change from most theatres' rip-off bar prices.
Highly recommended.

went to watch a Bohemian Rhapsody evening. The music was bad and the singers were not what I would have called listening material. The performers were not what I call value for money. By the interval myself and my friend decided to leave.

This is a long estabilshed theatre that is now undergoing a major refurbishment. The shows that are on this summer are diverse and well priced (compared to other Thetatres in town i.e Congress).
The theatre is mostly staffed by volunteers who are most welcoming. When in Eastbourne make sure you find time to visit.

This is a lovely theatre all run by volunteers of all ages because the greedy council wont support them & wanted to make this truly wonderful theatre into a car park been to a couple of shows here always packed out so best to book seats ,this time we went to watch circus of horrors wow what a show weird & strange ,everywhere you sit is clear few but row q is where they have the sound desks so would avoid the higher seats numbers if you don't like it loud they also have spaces for wheelchair uses & a bar with crisp etc & ice creams at individuals wow worth a visit to this wonderful theatre

Been waiting years to go to the Royal Hippodrome Theatre, Eastbourne and was not disappointed. Greeted by friendly staff and when entering the stalls the feel was delightful. Chairs very comfortable, view excellent and the atmosphere it generates is wonderful. Thoroughly recommend and thank you for making it an unforgettable evening.

This is a theatre full of character. It is clear that they are working hard to fully renovate this theatre. The staff were volunteers and they were really friendly and were genuinely grateful that we were there as customers. The seats are spacious and there is plenty of legroom. We were in the Dress Circle (A3 and A4) and had a great view. Overall, a lovely place to visit.... and The Drifters were great.

The past few years have seen this beautiful theatre gradually being brought back to life by an amazing team of dedicated people. It's a work in progress which makes it even more interesting to visit! Some great and varied offerings throughout the year, great ticket prices! Comfy seats with good legroom and views, just a lovely atmospheric place to be. Lovely staff.

Have visited here on many occasions. We particularly like watching some great comedians. We love this very old building and it's nice to see so many volunteers giving their time to keep it going.

We always visit the Hippodrome Theatre when holidaying in Eastbourne. Highlights include the resident musical show which runs throughout the summer season and the British Music Hall Society's annual 'Day By The Sea' festival of entertainment.
