Affectionately known as “The Old Lady of Hurst Street” the Hippo dates back to 1899 when it opened as the Tower of Varieties and Circus. It wasn’t until 1903 that it first became known as the Hippodrome. Now firmly established as the Midlands’ leading theatre, it re-opened in 2001 after a £30 million redevelopment which took 22 months to complete.
The Hippodrome has 'Audio Description' for the blind and visually impaired.
