Thankyou for going to so much effort to make the Xmas spectacular such a good night. After the year we have had it was extra special to have a safe place to come to, to enjoy first class entertainment. Beautiful theatre, extra care to make it safe for us, friendly, professional and thoroughly enjoyable. I didn't feel like I was alone, I felt I was among friends. Loved it!

We've just got back from the 2020 Christmas show and it was absolutely brilliant! The singing, dancing and comedy were great and it was fantastic to be back seeing a live show again.

Covid precautions were excellent, track and trace via the NHS Covid 19 App, temperature checks on arrival, hand sanitiser, distanced queueing systems to enter and to get drinks/snacks, plenty of space between seats with masks required at all times.

This theatre is honestly like our second home. It is beautiful inside and out and we love visiting there. The Hippodrome offers the best in all aspects of music and the arts and it deserves to win as its the best theatre around.

Wonderful theatre under great management whose shows cater for such a diverse range of theatrical and musical interests. In particular it is especially strong in developing children's interest in the theatre and giving them the opportunity of performing on stage.

A piece of Eastbourne history that could easily be overlooked due to many years of neglect from EBC however, under new management this theatre is being refurbished and going from strength to strength it hosts popular shows for the entire family, at reasonable prices it’s a joy to visit and be welcomed by a fantastic team of volunteers who love the theatre and hence give their time willingly A truly special place
