What to wear

Style your outfit for Festival and autumn performances with these suggestions

During the Festival

(May–August)

Black tie and Glyndebourne are often synonymous – but they don’t have to be if that’s not your style. Dress up in a way that suits you. There are no rules.

There are on-site changing facilities, located in the Plashett building at the foot of the car park, as indicated on the Glyndebourne site map.

Given the perils of the British weather, it is advisable to bring an additional warm layer.

During the autumn

(September–December)

In keeping with the more informal feel of the autumn season at Glyndebourne, the dress code is smart casual.

While some audience members do choose to make their visit to autumn performances a special occasion and dress accordingly, others may be arriving straight from work. Please wear whatever you find warm and comfortable.
