I bought a couple of tickets (very well priced) on a whim and my fiancée and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Drinks were reasonably priced and staff were very friendly.
An event we will truly remember. A must-do when in Eastbourne.

I was so fortunate to see the fantastic Christmas show live before it had to sadly close. A show full of song, laughter, happiness, pride, emotion, love and Christmas cheer ♥️ This morning I have purchased my online ticket and I've given up on housework and started watching it again! I've just fast forwarded to That's Christmas to Me, my favourite part of the show, and am shedding a tear for so many reasons. I'm so sad for everyone that the show couldn't finish but I encourage everyone to support this beautiful theatre and buy an online ticket to watch the show from the comfort of your own home.. you will not be disappointed!! Huge well done to everyone involved in bringing us this amazing show X

Just watched the virtual Sleeping Beauty 2020 panto. It was brilliant! So much hard work must have gone into this production, a shame no one could hear our laughter, cheering and clapping! Well done to all involved and thank you.

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.
