Dining Experiences at the Festival

At this year's Glyndebourne Festival, held between May and August, you can enjoy cuisine as exquisite as the six world-class operas on stage. A key part of the experience is Glyndebourne's famous 90-minute interval, where you'll have the opportunity to dine at one of our restaurants, scroll down to discover all of the tempting options.

Alternatively, you can order a picnic and relax in our beautiful gardens, with views of the Sussex Downs. The gardens open two hours before the curtains rise, giving plenty of time to dine before and after each performance.
