Evening performances usually start at 6.30pm and have a 90-minute interval for picnicking in the grounds or dining in our Coach House Restaurant or Buffet Marquee.  Sunday afternoon performances will have a one hour tea  interval - lunch is served before the performance at 1.15 pm. Performances of Die Walküre will have two intervals of 60 minutes each.  Diners in our restaurant and buffet will be able to have a course in each interval.
