By train

The nearest station is Lewes. All Glyndebourne performances finish in time for audiences to return to London by train.

There is a free coach during the Festival that runs to and from Lewes Train Station to meet the designated London train – and is available for all of our visitors not just those arriving by train.

To take advantage of this service, please refer to the Schedule of Performances for the exact train time.

If no reservation has been made, a charge of £5.00 will be payable on boarding the coach.
