Longhope Opera is a recently established country house opera festival near Alton.

Tickets are free – although donations are encouraged. Attendees are guests at Longhope for the day, which includes a woodland recital, drinks reception, the opera, and a picnic dinner during the interval overlooking the South Downs.
