I went with a group of friends to a comedy club show, which was great value. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Well worth supporting. Will go again when in Eastbourne.

Tonight I went to this beautiful theatre which is run by hard working volunteers. It's a stunning old theatre with grand decor. The show we saw was viva variety which was outstanding. Good all round entertainment. Prices for tickets were very good along with refreshments reasonably priced. Huge thanks to all the work everyone puts in to this venue. The jewel in Eastbourne' s crown. If you haven't been to this theatre then please do go.

I have just finished a shift as Duty Manager for the Viva Variety show.
As the guests were leaving they all commented on how good the show is and one lady in particular called to to one side. She explained that she has been on many cruise ships and the entertainment she experienced at our theatre was far superior to anything she had seen on the cruises. She said the acts were first class and the 4 men in particular should be on Britain’s got Talent. She was amazed that all the “stars” of the show are working people who have day jobs and do this show every Wednesday.
Great to receive amazing feedback. She asked me to post this as she wasn’t sure about the internet or trip advisor and I was happy to oblige.

This lovely theatre has been restored and appears to be run by some very devoted and enthusiastic people. We saw their 2019 summer show, "Viva Variety" which we enjoyed very much. The multi-talented cast were brilliant & we had a marvelous evening. I would recommend this theatre and its productions to anyone wanting first class entertainment in superb & evocative surroundings.

Dates back to 1883 this lovely old building has just had a make over and been brought back to its former glory. This year there have been so many excellent productions. Back stage tours are interesting and informative

Came here to watch the Pink Floyd live show which was excellent. A good old fashioned theatre which has plenty of character. Its very small, clean, comfy seats and the staff are very friendly who were all volunteers. I like this theatre better than the newly refurbished Congress Theatre.
I say this theatre is similar to Theatre Royal, Brighton and hope to come here again in the future.

Really enjoyed Roman Romp! Very funny adult comedy. The refit to the theatre certainly is noticeable on arrival.

We always visit the Hippodrome Theatre when holidaying in Eastbourne. Highlights include the resident musical show which runs throughout the summer season and the British Music Hall Society's annual 'Day By The Sea' festival of entertainment.

Always puts the best shows on and you always get a good price for you ticket or tickets if you go with friends. And a very warm welcome from the staff. They all do a very great job. And for me it's only a short walk from home.

The past few years have seen this beautiful theatre gradually being brought back to life by an amazing team of dedicated people. It's a work in progress which makes it even more interesting to visit! Some great and varied offerings throughout the year, great ticket prices! Comfy seats with good legroom and views, just a lovely atmospheric place to be. Lovely staff.

This is a theatre full of character. It is clear that they are working hard to fully renovate this theatre. The staff were volunteers and they were really friendly and were genuinely grateful that we were there as customers. The seats are spacious and there is plenty of legroom. We were in the Dress Circle (A3 and A4) and had a great view. Overall, a lovely place to visit.... and The Drifters were great.

Been waiting years to go to the Royal Hippodrome Theatre, Eastbourne and was not disappointed. Greeted by friendly staff and when entering the stalls the feel was delightful. Chairs very comfortable, view excellent and the atmosphere it generates is wonderful. Thoroughly recommend and thank you for making it an unforgettable evening.
