Eastbourne has four theatres with a combined capacity of more than 4,500.

Each theatre has its own distinct character and style, from the purpose built Congress Theatre to the atmospheric Victorian Devonshire Park Theatre.

The Devonshire Park Theatre is a Grade II listed building designed by Henry Currey. It was built in 1884 and further improved by celebrated Theatre Architect Frank Matcham in 1903.It is one of the best examples of small Victorian Theatre in the country with ornate interior featuring decorative plaster work with scrolls and caryatids by Schmidt of Holloway.

The theatre won the Martini/TMA Regional Theatre Award for ‘Most Welcoming Theatre’ in 1994.
