Brilliant theatre, we went at Christmas to see the panto. We loved it so much we booked there and then to come back for the Easter panto. Which was also brilliant!
Drinks and snacks available and all very good prices!

Wife and I visited the theatre for the tour and it was worth double the cost charged! The tour was led by a volunteer who works in theatres and his knowledge and manner of addressing the group was first rate. We went as a couple but there was a group who had booked which totalled 23 in all but they managed it well. The tour included; sitting in every tier of the theatre seating, going onto and under the stage, the dressing room area and studio. We also saw the curtain rigging area. At each point the guide was able to tell us the history and other fascinating background stories. The tour saw a troupe rehearsing for the upcoming pantomime and some young children who were being taught dance and movement.
This was a really lovely experience and it was very interesting to hear so many stories related to theatre such as why break a leg, never to whistle and the ‘Scottish play’ which begins with M but can’t be said!

What a great historic theatre this is. from booking tickets to the moment you arrive their customer service is 2nd to non.
All of the front of house, box office and bar staff know how to make a theatrical experience special. They are a professional team.
Before lockdown I did the back stage tour with a tour guide called Jack. He knew so much about the building and local social history and made our back stage tour informative and fun.
They have a great programme of events, I especially love their annual summer show.

We went to Eastbourne for New Year! The coach company booked us to the pantomime on New Year’s Day! So glad they did! It was fantastic! Every character was incredible especially the 2 ugly sisters with audience participation! Buttons character was so funny! Loved it!
The young dancers were really professional, the very young ones were so cute!
A great end to our visit to Eastbourne! Well done to you all! 😊😊😊
