The event was an opportunity for the public to explore the venue’s extensive grounds, picnic on the lawns, see the auditorium and ask its gardening team questions. A spokesperson for the opera house said: “We welcomed over 1,100 visitors and the feedback was very, very positive.” Glyndebourne’s gardens are usually only open to show ticket holders.
