Opera Holland Park offers a variety of refreshment options so that you can make the most of your evening in the beautiful surroundings of Holland Park.
Sustainability informs every aspect of the theatre, with food and drink predominantly sourced from independent companies within a 50 mile radius of Holland Park for purchase by patrons.
Theatre Bar
Our beautiful onsite bar is open both before the performance and during the interval, offering a selection of drinks and snacks for you to enjoy.
Bringing your own picnic to Opera Holland Park
We are pleased to be able to offer picnic tables in the Terrace and Dutch Garden Lounge for customers who would like to bring their own refreshments to enjoy before the show and during the interval. Tables of 6 in the Dutch Garden Lounge are £65 and in the Terrace tables of 4 cost £45. Please note that availability is limited, although we hope to have more space to offer as we get closer to the summer season. Tables on the Balustrade are located at the front of the theatre under the canopy, overlooking the cricket pitch. These only seat up to 2 people, and are priced at £25 per table.
You can either book your picnic table at the same time as buying your tickets, or you can do so using the link on the right of this page.
Picnicking FAQs
Please note that we do not allow customers to eat their own food and drink at the bar seating areas and ask all groups to pre-book a picnic table in either the Terrace, the Balustrade, or the Dutch Garden Lounge.
Do the tables have tablecloths?
Yes, all picnic tables in the Terrace and Dutch Garden Lounge have sanitised and wipeable tablecloths.
Is there a limit on the number of tables I can purchase?
No, you can purchase as many tables as you like.
What time will I be able to picnic from?
The time from which your picnic table will be available varies according to the start time of the particular performance. Please check the list below to see when you will be able to access your table.
You are welcome to use your picnic table during the interval, but not after the performance as the theatre site will be closing.
Can I add an extra chair to my table?
Unfortunately, due to Health & Safety regulations, we can only accommodate up to four people/chairs around picnic tables purchased in the Dutch Garden Lounge and the Terrace. If your party is 7 or more, you will need to purchase more than one picnic table.
