The tour

You'll hear stories of the original Globe, learn all about its reconstruction process in the 1990s, and find out how the building works today as an experimental theatre. 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 public space at various times throughout the day, which include Elizabethan clothing dressings, stage fighting, and printing of the plays using a replica 17th-century press. Book your guided tour Monday-Saturday at 12.00pm and Sunday 11.00am.
Afternoon tea
“Sweets to the sweet” Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet. Shakespeare's Globe lives up to this in every way through its afternoon tea. The stunning spread is inspired by the journeys of the characters, from mulberries from the lovers’ tree to Oberon’s love potion. There’ll be no eye of newt in sight. Please bear in mind when booking, from the 2 March, this afternoon tea will include English Hush Heath sparkling instead of Prosecco. Afternoon Tea is served Monday to Saturday at 1.00pm and Sunday 12.00pm.
