Great venue
Oct 2021
Attended the venue for a gig by the Kubricks, this was our first visit to the Ropetackle and it will not be our last. Excellent staff on arrival being extremely helpful when I realised I’d left the tickets at home.🙄 Good bar prices with good staffing levels. The venue is easy to find with good staff. Nice to see clean toilets as was the rest of the venue.

A Little Goes A Long Way
Sep 2021
Recently visited to attend an event. Needed a bit of support to assist with a hidden disability to make the visit successful and the venue went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. Everyone we met was very understanding and supportive, just brilliant. This support has such a massive impact and I just wanted to give a big thanks and say everyone was brilliant. And the place was tidy and very nice too!

Friendly and welcoming
Feb 2020
Recently moved to Shoreham, and it’s lovely to have an arts centre. There are lots of activities and the cafe provides a friendly central hub. We have attended several events so far including the cinema and this was good value. Look forward to more events in this smaller environment soon.

Good cake and coffee
Oct 2019
Lovely little place for a relax and chill in a morning! Coffee cake and a magazine. Meeting friends and family - or just a little working morning on my own!

Great panto
Dec 2019 • Family
We have been to the panto at the Ropetackle several times and this year it was as good, if not better than ever. It had all the ingredients we wanted and had appeal for all ages. The dame was brilliant, and the four main roles were wonderful - full of energy and engaged so well with the audience. Well done to the brilliant cast and we look forward to next year!

A bit aged but a great place to see bands
Oct 2019
Just returned from our first visit to this place to see a band. The refreshment prices were good for a venue, half the price of places like the o2 or wembley. The acoustics were spot on. The only downside was the seating was cramped as there is only a 250 capacity seated.

Great building in the heart of Shoreham
Oct 2019
Have been to several shows at Ropetackle Arts Centre. Plenty of variety for all tastes. It is great that you can sit in the comfort of a table and chair having a glass of wine whilst enjoying fabulous entertainment.

Tribute concert
Jul 2019 • Friends
This venue is great for a night out. They have an assortment of entertainment, we mainly see bands or tribute bands. The one in July was Eagles tribute and the one we are going to see in October is Fleetwood Mac tribute. They are fun evenings and a good place to meet people. They also have a licenced bar and a little cafe for food before the show.
