A great place to see a show or band, a lovely old theatre that lives and breathes character. We saw Noasis and the Who tribute band the Goldhawks in this theatre, both bands were amazing

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!

This theatre is an Eastbourne Gem. Run by a wonderful husband and wife and there team that are second to none
The welcome you get when you arrive sets the tone for the evening.
Now they have a home grown pantomime Christmas and Easter and a wonderful summer show well done to one and all
I love this theatre and how it is run with LOVE that makes you want to go back again and again.

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.
