Step inside this faithful recreation of William Shakespeare's iconic Globe theatre. Imagine it as it would have been at the centre of London's notorious Bankside entertainment district.
Throughout the year expert guides bring this extraordinary space to life in a 40 minute guided tour, with colourful stories of the 1599 Globe, the reconstruction process in the 1990s and 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.
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 printing the plays using a 17th replica printing press.
Inspire the kids and learn more as a family about the life of Shakespeare, the London where he lived, and the theatre for which he wrote. Ideal for supporting both schoolwork and curious minds.
