Glyndebourne Festival
A celebration of music, artistry and escapism in the English countryside. This summer, we are proud to support Glyndebourne Festival. A world of sweeping overtures, romantic tableaux and elegant storytelling; perfectly in tune with the spirit of French Bedroom.
Secrets of Glyndebourne
From its striking architecture and beautifully maintained gardens to its rich traditions and attention to detail, Glyndebourne is renowned not only for its opera, but for the extraordinary setting in which it takes place. Few places capture the romance of the English countryside quite like this Sussex estate. Rose-filled gardens, elegant architecture and a timeless sense of occasion make every visit feel unique.
At French Bedroom, we share that appreciation for beautiful surroundings and thoughtful design. We believe the spaces we surround ourselves with should bring comfort, character and a sense of occasion to everyday life.
We're proud to support the 2026 Festival season and to feature in this year's official Glyndebourne programme.
The festival runs from May - August, with 78 shows, and tickets still available. Find out more at https://www.glyndebourne.com/your-visit/
Curating A space to relax
Within the Glyndebourne estate, rooms have served many purposes over the years, from star dressing rooms to wartime evacuee dormitories. Today, this elegant room offers a place of respite between opera intervals, where guests enjoy private dining, champagne receptions and exclusive events, providing an intimate setting rich in character and atmosphere.
We were delighted to style the space with pieces from our Gustavian Dark collection, whose refined silhouettes and deep finishes sit harmoniously against the rich crimson walls. Together, the furnishings and architecture create a setting that feels both timeless and inviting, inspired by the romance, drama and decadence of the opera itself.

A Memorable Picnic
Famed as Sussex's most elegant picnic spot and accessible only to opera guests, Glyndebourne's gardens are as much a part of the experience as the performance itself. Guests are invited to dine on the lawns and wander the grounds surrounding the opera house; a celebration of summer romance and escapism.
