The Bob Hope Theatre

Lovely Theatre with an interesting connection to Mr Bob Hope. I’ve seen 3 plays and 4 pantos here and all have been good!
Lovely building with friendly staff.
Worth a visit for sure.

this place was real good, anyone would like it. this should tell you enough from my 5 star rating its AMAZING!

Great little theatre in honour of Bob Hope who was born in Eltham. Once a year it opens it’s doors for free to locals for a free tour and historical information. We went on this tour in the summer and it really was worthwhile, it has a lot of memorabilia about Bob Hope, a great bar and coffee area with a bronze bust of Bob himself and a plaque on the wall to show he visited. The auditorium is light and airy, there’s a small stage but it puts on great shows all year and is run by volunteers.

Eltham is home to a theatre, invested in by Bob Hope himself, and the range of shows varies from youth performances of musicals to the South-​East London Première of ‘Seussical the Musical’ to be performed in July. The next show to be performed in traditional venue is Anton Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard in March, so even the classics of theatre are covered by this adventurous and enthusiastic team of volunteers. In the process of some redecoration, the building is looking in tip-​top shape and ready to welcome new audiences as well as new members. It is easily accessible by bus and by train (Eltham station) with free evening residential parking as well as a small off-​road car park.
