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.

A lovely welcoming theatre with a huge variety of events and performances on throughout the year. The staff are always helpful and friendly and really seem to care about the theatre and it’s audiences. Since the new management took over last year this venue has got better and better!

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.
