Reviews
"A wonderful experience right through from the venue, performance, food and service. Excellently run event. Dining options range from taking your own picnic, large groups seemed to go for this option, collecting a ready prepared picnic at the venue or restaurant dining options. Ample facilities so no queuing at the bars or elsewhere. Beautiful gardens to meander through and an excuse, if you need one, to dress up!"
"Went to see La Boheme here in October. Lovely auditorium and great performance. Every care taken to make it a premium experience, which is fair enough, given the ticket prices! The gardens were lovely and I would have liked longer to look around. There were marquees available to picnic indoors as well as outside. Plenty of parking as well."
"Had a wonderful day experiencing the gardens, buildings and the performance. A thoroughly enjoyable time from start to end"
"A quintessentially English opera experience. Superb opera productions with brilliant performers, outstanding sets and costumes. Add to that the setting of Sir Christie's estate in the middle of the English countryside which plays host to the traditional 90 minute intervals picnic. Who could wish for more?"
"Loved our trip to Glyndebourne, we saw the Marriage of Figaro which I'd highly recommend, very entertaining and easy to follow even for those not familiar with Opera. There are English subtitles over the stage so you can follow the story too. The day overall was fantastic and we all had a great time."
