Came here to watch the Pink Floyd live show which was excellent. A good old fashioned theatre which has plenty of character. Its very small, clean, comfy seats and the staff are very friendly who were all volunteers. I like this theatre better than the newly refurbished Congress Theatre.
I say this theatre is similar to Theatre Royal, Brighton and hope to come here again in the future.

Dates back to 1883 this lovely old building has just had a make over and been brought back to its former glory. This year there have been so many excellent productions. Back stage tours are interesting and informative

This lovely theatre has been restored and appears to be run by some very devoted and enthusiastic people. We saw their 2019 summer show, "Viva Variety" which we enjoyed very much. The multi-talented cast were brilliant & we had a marvelous evening. I would recommend this theatre and its productions to anyone wanting first class entertainment in superb & evocative surroundings.

I have just finished a shift as Duty Manager for the Viva Variety show.
As the guests were leaving they all commented on how good the show is and one lady in particular called to to one side. She explained that she has been on many cruise ships and the entertainment she experienced at our theatre was far superior to anything she had seen on the cruises. She said the acts were first class and the 4 men in particular should be on Britain’s got Talent. She was amazed that all the “stars” of the show are working people who have day jobs and do this show every Wednesday.
Great to receive amazing feedback. She asked me to post this as she wasn’t sure about the internet or trip advisor and I was happy to oblige.

Tonight I went to this beautiful theatre which is run by hard working volunteers. It's a stunning old theatre with grand decor. The show we saw was viva variety which was outstanding. Good all round entertainment. Prices for tickets were very good along with refreshments reasonably priced. Huge thanks to all the work everyone puts in to this venue. The jewel in Eastbourne' s crown. If you haven't been to this theatre then please do go.

I went with a group of friends to a comedy club show, which was great value. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Well worth supporting. Will go again when in Eastbourne.

I visited the Hippodrome yesterday for a behind the scenes tour. The tour lasts 90 minutes and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have visited the theatre a number of times to see shows (which I have enjoyed) and thought it would be interesting to see parts of the theatre you don't see normally. The tour starts off with a talk on how the theatre came to exist and we were then taken around the theatre. The tour is reasonably priced at £5, and being in a small group it felt a privilege to be shown around when it was empty. I learnt more about Eastbourne's history from the very knowledgable guide and afterwards bought myself a book on the history of the theatre in the foyer. In my opinion the Royal Hippodrome is the most interesting theatre in Eastbourne as it has so much character and history. A great theatre.

We went to see the brilliantly funny and talented Ceri Dupree.
Beautiful little theatre with comfortable seats and the staff very welcoming. Highlight of a bit of a lacklustre weekend. We had a great night Thankyou
