Step inside this faithful recreation of William Shakespeare’s iconic Globe Theatre. Imagine it as it would have been at the center of London’s notorious Bankside entertainment district.
Throughout the year, expert guides bring the extraordinary open-air theatre to life so that you can enjoy a 40-minute guided tour. You'll be able to listen to colorful stories of the 1599 Globe, the reconstruction process in the 1990s and learn how the building works today as an imaginative and experimental theatre space. Take a seat ‘within this wooden O’ – listen, absorb and ask questions as the secrets of the Globe unfold. You'll be able to enjoy exciting live demonstrations in The Guided Tour Welcome and Demonstration Space at various times throughout the day, which include Elizabethan clothing dressings, stage fighting and a replica 17th-century printing press.
Following your Globe Theatre Guided Tour, enjoy a themed afternoon tea inspired by the twists and turns of Shakespeare's ethereal romantic comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Presented on bespoke crockery in the stunning Swan Restaurant, you'll be able to enjoy a glass of Prosecco whilst taking in London’s iconic skyline and the River Thames.
