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.

Fabulous to see Curtis Stigers here on Saturday night - hopefully he liked it enough to come back . Great view in a small, beautiful, smart theatre. A very friendly welcome in the lobby and delicious ice-cream .

We went to Eastbourne for New Year! The coach company booked us to the pantomime on New Yearโ€™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! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š
