What a great little theatre! Second year we have been to the Panto here and it is by far a lot better than the bigger productions. The actors seem like they are really enjoying themselves and the theatre staff and conscientious and attentive. If your looking for a great panto with the kids the head here. Very recommended!

Wow!! Loved the entirety. We took my grandsons to see 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. The show was brilliant. The cast cannot be praised enough and the Hippodrome itself is one amazing venue. Mums, Dad's Nans, Grandads and children of any age appeared to delight in the whole pantomime. Looking forward to the next show at Easter.

We have been here several times for pantomimes and have always had a great time. The staff are friendly and helpful.

I love the fact that it still has the old style theater look.

I don't live near enough to this venue to be a frequent patron (there's an ocean between us) but anyone who lives close to it is blessed with a real gem of a theatre. I saw Decades of Disco (really fun) there in late November. The theatre has lovely bones; it's intimate; and well located. Support the Royal Hippodrome!

USE IT OR LOSE IT!

If you haven't already you must go see a show here.
Absolute hidden gem of a theatre- Classic, old fashioned interior, steeped in history you could almost feel and smell the amount of famous celebrities and shows this place has put on in the last 139 years. Made the hairs on the back of your neck tingle.!!!

We watched an adult drag pantomine here ( which was absolutely pant wettingly hilarious lol) and with 630 seats across 3levels you really are getting a more intimate, private experience over the larger theaters.

Staff very friendly and joyfull upon greeting you into the theatre and wishing safe journeys home when show was over.

Range of snacks and refreshments available to enjoy during the performance too. ( Strawberry cider, gin, wine etc)

Whilst parking availability isnt amazing around the theatre, along the seafront or street - the nearest NCP is only a 7 minute walk ( i believe 24hr).....or grab a taxi there to enjoy a few drinkypoos.

Places like these won't be around forever if we don't all support them - 💯 you should go.
