Opera picnics and drinks (NOT TICKETS)

Have you bought your opera tickets and you now want to add picnics and drinks? You can do that from here.  When booking, please enter '1' into the DUMMY TICKET line and then add as many picnics and drinks as you wish.  The DUMMY TICKET does not allow entrance to the opera.

As a reminder, here is the picnic information:

Choose from one of three picnic hampers specially prepared for GAP Festival Opera by Pierreponts Cafe in Goring all priced at £37.50:  Picnic Mozart,  Picnic Verdi and Picnic Puccini - the menus and the exclusively curated wine selection are below.  Guests are welcome to bring their own picnic and picnic furniture although we ask that only rugs are used on the main lawn.

Hampers come with recyclable cutlery, plates and napkins and will be ready for collection from the picnic desk in front of the main house on your arrival.  Early booking will guarantee a reserved picnic table and chairs set up on the main lawn.
Bookings for all picnics will close on June 5th. 

Add a bottle or two of wine or champagne to your order - chilled as appropriate - and perhaps some sparkling water which will also be ready for you, with glasses. Choose from this carefully selected list and to encourage you to pre-order, we are offering them at better prices than will be available on the night:
