You will be seated at a round table with your group/party in one of our 4 lakeside pavilions. The performance will take place on a stage on the island in the lake. You will watch the performance from, and dine at, your table.
If you are bringing a picnic with you, it is best to keep it simple as we are not able to provide additional serving tables this year. We would ask you not to bring tall items and candles as this will disrupt your view of the stage. However, we will provide lights for your table that can be switched off during the performance.
Alcoholic drinks, soft drinks and coffee/tea will be available to purchase from the Horse-Box bar adjacent to the pavilions. We are delighted to also offer this year our new West Green House Gin which will be available from our Gin Bar. You can pre-order wine from Jane in the Opera Office on 01252 848676 or on the night by calling or texting the number on the reverse of the card on your table which will also have details of the location of toilets.
On arrival, please have your e-tickets ready to present at the entrance/shop. We will then show you to your table in your pavilion. Pre-ordered picnics can be collected from the Bothy. Golf buggies are available if you require assistance and our volunteers will be available to help with wheelchairs. All wheelchair users will be seated in the pavilion closest to the entrance. You will be greeted at your pavilion and guided to your table.
The gardens will be beautifully lit, as usual, after the performance but we do have to close the garden and lock up at 11pm.
e-tickets will be emailed 48 hours before each performance.
