I visited the Hippodrome yesterday for a behind the scenes tour. The tour lasts 90 minutes and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have visited the theatre a number of times to see shows (which I have enjoyed) and thought it would be interesting to see parts of the theatre you don't see normally. The tour starts off with a talk on how the theatre came to exist and we were then taken around the theatre. The tour is reasonably priced at £5, and being in a small group it felt a privilege to be shown around when it was empty. I learnt more about Eastbourne's history from the very knowledgable guide and afterwards bought myself a book on the history of the theatre in the foyer. In my opinion the Royal Hippodrome is the most interesting theatre in Eastbourne as it has so much character and history. A great theatre.

Is a very old historic building that has been given a new lease of life and is getting the best people/groups etc into eastbourne revitalising the tired end of the town. Beautiful building with lots of stories from years gone by including ghosts!

A lovely little theatre, in which i have grown up performing in! The new owners, Debbie and Alex, are such lovely people and are doing such a wonderful job with making the theatre look beautiful again. Definitely would describe this place as the ‘best business in Eastbourne’!

The Hippodrome is a great venue with such a wide variety of shows to see - there really is something for everyone. It has a cosy, intimate feel and the staff/volunteers are always helpful, friendly and welcoming. They are slowly restoring the theatre to its former glory so is well worth a visit, also I can recommend the backstage tour - it’s fascinating.
