HIGHLIGHTS

MORE INFORMATION

Built in 1599, a turbulent past saw the Globe destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuilt on the same site a year later, and then demolished by Puritans in 1642 who feared the theatre was an un-godly place that lured people away from the church.

The Globe Experience combines an interactive look at theatre-craft, the unique story of Shakespeare's Globe, and a guided tour of the Globe Theatre.

Discover how we bring the magic of stories to life in a newly interpreted space beneath Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre! With help from our experts, you’ll immerse yourself in the world of Shakespeare’s storytelling, from the creation of his works to the way they are interpreted today. Explore how we combine different elements of stagecraft to bring these stories to life in our beautiful and unique wooden ‘O’ and candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

The experience will last approximately 2 hours.

Once you’ve finished your tour, you’re in the perfect place to find a bite to eat, visit the Tate Modern, or stroll along the river to The London Eye.
