This is just round the corner from where we live, so not our first visit or our last. Always great to go there. Wonderful old building - good condition inside too.

Saw the 4 tunes at the Royal Hippodrone theatre and really enjoyed the evening. They are fantastic singers with a wide variety of music to suit all tastes. We love the venue itself for its history and quirky grandeur . The staff are so helpful and jolly . Fabulous night!

Me and my family absolutely love this theatre. We have been to various shows and last night had the pleasure of seeing the 4tunes here. It was wonderfully atmospheric, we were sat near to the back of the stalls and still felt we were in touching distance, great view!! Staff always extremely helpful, this theatre is the best and hosts amazing shows and performances. Don't delay, visit today

Very friendly 'pub'. They treat everyone like family, could not ask for a nicer place to have a quick drink in.

The Royal Hippodrome Theatre is a real asset for Eastbourne.
Because it is enthusiastically supported by volunteers, it's able to stage incredible shows at low prices, ensuring everyone has the chance to enjoy live theatre. The management team are also signing up some exceptional acts / shows which you would expect to find at much larger commercial theatres. I strongly urge you to keep an eye on their programme and visit this great venue as soon as you can!

Went to see a production at RHT and again enjoyed being in a traditional theatre, with good knee room; always a warm welcome from the Front of House and staff on duty. This is a theatre for everybody.

Great start to the season. Warm & friendly atmosphere. Very good programme and varied from young children to older people 70 years plus taking part.

Those who didn't go to see Miracle on 34th Street missed a brilliant show. We took our two grandchildren aged 9 and 10, and they loved it. The family ticket was a bargain and the lovely ice cream tubs are only £2 each. We all had a great evening. We'll certainly keep an eye out for other shows.

The service on arrival was fine. The theatre itself is beautiful but there was a slightly musty smell however it did not distract from an excellent performance. The cast and crew were superb. A fabulous show that was perhaps a little bit lost on the younger members of the audience.

Visiting the Hippodrome theatre is like taking a step back in time..It's a lovely little theatre which still retains a lot of origional features of the building..I've visited 2 shows in the last 7 days. Staff are all very friendly and helpfull and most of the shows are very reasonably priced.

Have been to see a few shows here this year. The staff and volunteers have always been so friendly and helpful. The prices of the shows are incredibly reasonable and the quality of the shows fantastic. I have to say that out of the theatres in the town this has to be my favourite.

Having lived in the area for 5 years and going to the Congress and Devonshire Park regularly, me and my wife only visited the Royal Hippodrome earlier this year for the first time. What a gem of a theatre. Very intimate and the shows that we have seen there, including the recent Rhydian one, were outstanding. The artists we have seen have all praised the theatre and the people who work there and say that it is the first time that they can actually see all of the audience and not just the first couple of rows. When watching the shows, you get more of a feeling of involvement, as the artists are so near. Would totally recommend this great theatre.

Rhydian was very very good as was his band and the very talented support singer Lucy Kay. The whole experience was enhanced by the very helpful and friendly staff.
