A beautiful old theatre! That's what I love. The show was amazing. (The Wizard of Oz). Very talented cast, even the youngest ones. 😀👍

Went to see the Viva variety show last night. Thanks for a great evening. Brilliant show and great cast, and what a lovely traditional old theatre. Would recommend this. Best money spent so far on our stay in Eastbourne.

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.

Have visited here on many occasions. We particularly like watching some great comedians. We love this very old building and it's nice to see so many volunteers giving their time to keep it going.

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.

This is a lovely theatre all run by volunteers of all ages because the greedy council wont support them & wanted to make this truly wonderful theatre into a car park been to a couple of shows here always packed out so best to book seats ,this time we went to watch circus of horrors wow what a show weird & strange ,everywhere you sit is clear few but row q is where they have the sound desks so would avoid the higher seats numbers if you don't like it loud they also have spaces for wheelchair uses & a bar with crisp etc & ice creams at individuals wow worth a visit to this wonderful theatre

This is a long estabilshed theatre that is now undergoing a major refurbishment. The shows that are on this summer are diverse and well priced (compared to other Thetatres in town i.e Congress).
The theatre is mostly staffed by volunteers who are most welcoming. When in Eastbourne make sure you find time to visit.
