Details and tickets

Glyndebourne ends its autumn season with its Christmas Concerts. The Glyndebourne Chorus and Sinfonia perform with young singers from Glyndebourne Youth Opera. Expect traditional carols, well-known opera choruses and orchestral crowd-pleasers.

Most performances start at 3pm, with the grounds opening at 1pm. On Saturday 12 December there is also a 2pm matinee and a 7.30pm evening concert. Each concert runs for around two hours and has a 30-minute interval.

Good to know: Prices run from about £10 up to about £82, so book early for the best choice of seats.

Getting there

Glyndebourne is a few miles outside Lewes, so check the venue's how-to-get-here page for parking and travel options before you go.

Going as a group? Our 16-seat minibuses take you from your door to the event and home again.
