Congress Theatre (Eastbourne)
The Congress Theatre is a Grade II* listed, purpose built, modern theatre and conference venue in the seaside town of Eastbourne, East Sussex. It is one of the largest theatres in southern England, with seating capacity of 1,689. The theatre was designed by Bryan and Norman Westwood Architects and built in 1963. The theatre underwent major refurbishment in 2019, to reveal a bright and contemporary look, whilst fully maintaining the character of the original design.
