If you’ve never been to an opera – or aren’t even sure you like opera – but just fancy giving it a go, there’s really only one place to do it. And, lucky old us, it’s right here in Sussex. As opera buffs will tell you, the quality’s top notch so you might as well see the best. The location is magical, the restaurants serve great food and a picnic on the lawn here is hard to beat. Stir the ingredients together and you have Glyndebourne Festival, truly a feast for the senses.
