Ticketing Information & Discounts
Everything you need to know about booking your tickets
From concession discounts to our weather policy, here’s all the information you’ll need to make your Waterperry Opera Festival booking with confidence.
Ticket Discounts & Concessions
We’re committed to making opera accessible to everyone.
Discounted tickets are available for certain performances and seating categories for the following groups:
Blue Light Card Holders
Disabled patrons, who may book one companion ticket at the concession rate
Those in receipt of Government Benefits (e.g. unemployment, disability, or income support)
When booking online, please select the relevant concession ticket type and be ready to show valid proof at the Box Office when collecting your wristbands.
If proof is not provided, the difference to the full ticket price will be payable.
The Blue Light Card discount applies only to the cardholder, not to the entire booking party.
For accessibility queries or companion seating requests, please contact us directly: boxoffice@waterperryoperafestival.co.uk

All tickets are delivered electronically via email from our Ticketsolve system.
Please show your e-ticket (printed or on your phone) at the Box Office when collecting your wristbands on the day.

Exchanges, Cancellations & Refunds
An integral part of the Waterperry Opera Festival experience is that most performances take place in the open air, and may be affected by the weather.
We have extensive contingencies in place, and cancellations are only made at the advertised start time.
If poor weather is forecast, please dress appropriately and bring suitable protection — umbrellas are not permitted during performances as they obstruct views.
If a Show Is Cancelled
In the event of a cancelled performance, we will be in touch to arrange ticket exchanges subject to availability.
In the event of a cancelled performance (not due to weather), the box office will be in touch to arrange a refund or exchange.
Refund terms:
Only the ticket price will be refunded (booking fees and delivery charges are non-refundable)
Requests must be made within 3 months of the cancelled show date
Refunds are not available for weather-related cancellations
Book with Confidence
Waterperry Opera Festival is an outdoor celebration of music, nature, and creativity.
