Associate Membership
Become a Member and join the celebrations in Festival 2022
Be a part of our future and join a society of generous individuals who share a passion for opera.
Associate Membership is your route to becoming a full Member of the Festival Society, which has been at the core of Glyndebourne since the early 1950s. Its contribution is vital – ensuring that opera at Glyndebourne can be enjoyed, now and for generations to come.
The Government has confirmed that theatres can open in full, without social distancing, for performances from 19 July. This means that we’re able to make all seats in our auditorium available to audiences for the second half of Festival 2021. Member’s priority booking for additional tickets will open online and by phone from Thursday 15 July at 10.00am.
