Ghost Walk // 3 Dec
The Royal Hippodrome Theatre
which was built in 1883,
making it Eastbourne’s oldest
theatre and originally named
the Theatre Royal and Opera
House, is the venue for Sussex
Darkside’s latest ghost walk.
Steeped in so much theatrical
history it’s not surprising that
spirits don’t want to leave its atmosphere and more than one ghost
is said to be lurking in the building. As you walk around you’ll hear
stories of the ghosts that haunt this theatre and stories from other
haunted theatres
