The Hippodrome Theatre, Seaside Road, opened in 1883 as the New Theatre Royal and Opera House, having been granted a Royal Patent by the Prince of Wales.
The Royal Hippodrome has seen many changes over recent years and in 2019 we find the building finally being upgraded, refurbished and improved. After 5 years under the management of a local CIC the theatre is now receiving a £500,000 facelift thanks to new Directors, Alex and Debbie Adams. Improvements to the technical specification of the building, the internal spaces and of course the massive building project to expand the Foyer, are well under way. We have many more plans to improve and enhance the theatrical experience for all theatre goers and look forward to an exciting and fulfilling future.
