Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre

Take a guided tour of William Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and see the world’s largest exhibition devoted to The Bard and the London in which he lived and worked.

The Globe Theatre Tour

Your ticket includes a fascinating half-hour tour of the auditorium, where expert guide-storytellers take visitors on a journey through time back to Elizabethan London.
You’ll also find out more about the Globe’s reconstruction in the 1980s-90s, and how the wooden ‘O’ works today as an imaginative and experimental theatrical space.

Shakespeare’s Globe Exhibition

Explore the remarkable story of the Globe Theatre at the world’s largest exhibition devoted to William Shakespeare, his life and his work.
Housed beneath the reconstructed theatre, the exhibition is a faithful reconstruction of the open-air playhouse from 1599, where Shakespeare wrote many of his greatest plays.
Shakespeare’s world is brought to life before your eyes through interactive displays and live demonstrations, accompanied by a complimentary audio guide.
Discover how shows were produced in the theatres of Shakespeare’s time, from writing and rehearsals to music, dance and performance.
Experience today’s working theatre at Bankside, the Soho of Elizabethan London, and find out about the extravagant Elizabethan costumes.
Discover the dramatic stories of the first Globe crossing the Thames, and the new Globe being reconstructed on Bankside.
Visiting with children? Make sure you pick up a copy of the “Family Trail” to fill out as they move through the exhibition. Click here to download the Family Trail!
