Royal Hippodrome Theatre
Latest Reviews
What a lovely show. I took my eight year old grandson and three year old granddaughter and they both enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The actors and costumes were first class and allowing them to have their photographs taken with them made it all the more special for them. Actors came down into the audience during the show too and were very friendly with the children. Only downside was the programme. There wasn't much of interest to the children at all but they wanted one each to take home to show their parents. Will definitely book again if it comes back to Eastbourne.

I've taken the kids to the RHT a few times now and it's always the same: the actors are (not so) happy amateurs - not always very "into" it - and the (sound and technical) production quite poor. The kids however, love watching fun things on stage and, because I go for their sake, it's all OK.

Our first visit with our 2 year old daughter to see Madagascar and it was amazing!
She sat watching it all and was clapping away to the songs.
Loved that the cast came out for photos with the kids.
Will definitely go again xx

Just returned from a fun filled couple of hours watching Madagascar. It was fantastic. From start to finish it had you smiling and at the end, on your feet dancing. Definitely recommend.

We had a fabulous afternoon seeing Madagascar. Great performers, especially when they mingle with the audience as it brings it all to life.
4 year old was beside himself with happiness ! And 7 year old girl smiling all through it.
Thankyou all !

My 5 year old loved everything about this show, especially meeting all of the characters for photo's in the interval? The Hippodrome is a lovely child friendly theatre with very welcoming people working throughout.

Our first ever visit to this theatre and what a show! very good, the stars of the show came out to meet and greet the audience, so much fun. The staff were helpful and polite. We will be visiting again.

First time to this theatre today and on first impressions it looks pretty grotty from the outside but inside it's a treat. Lovely small theatre with everything you need. Clean and comfortable with lots of booster seats available to everyone with little ones.
Show was great and it was particularly nice that the characters came out in the interval for photographs with the children.
Really lovely and helpful staff. We will look at what's on to come again.

My four year old thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Madagascar, she was singing and dancing along. Refreshments were reasonably priced, £1 drink and £2 ice cream. Even the programme wasn't expensive. Great view from our seat and the ticket wasn't expensive. Definately going back!

Eastbourne traditional theatre venue. Workshop production of a David Walliams children's book about the first Hippo on the moon. The animal characters were hand operated and their speech provided by the workshop crew. The very entertaining storyline was well presented throughout with moments of interaction with the audience.
Whilst the venue is quite old t wasn't shabby & the staff (mostly voluntary I think) were very friendly & helpful,
We shall be returning for other productions. Price are comparable with cinema tickets, with options for family groups.

Run by volunteers who seem to love what they do, this theatre is very welcoming and a joy to visit. a volunteer informed me the theatre is 134 years old now, it is beautiful. Parking can be a challenge, like most things in Eastbourne the multi storey carparks close ridiculously early, most busses disappear before 8pm.

We were booked in the front row so that we could see but unfortunately there was a speaker right in front of us which restricted our view of the stage

Great place to come and see a show a lovely intimate venue. Yes it needdoes updating but this is a non for profit organisation mainly ran by volunteers. Puts on great shows for all ages.
