The Weather
Waterperry Opera Festival is a partially outdoor festival with many events taking place across the gardens. Those productions are open to elements and fully embrace that magical outdoor theatre atmosphere.
Generally, the show must go on! For this reason we encourage attendees to bring appropriate protection from the elements. To avoid the worst weather we may postpone the start of a performance or shorten an interval to ensure that as much of the performance as possible can go ahead unimpeded by the weather. If the weather is so bad that we cannot ensure the safety of our performers and attendees we may have to cancel the performance. As it can become cooler towards the end of the evening, we often suggest bringing layered clothing or a blanket for your comfort.

Quite simply, whatever you like! We have a very relaxed family atmosphere at Waterperry Opera Festival, and all we want is for our festival-goers to enjoy themselves. Dress up if you like, but we don't have any formal dress code. As it can become cooler towards the end of the evening, we recommend that you bring layers.
