Shakespeare's Globe Theatre: Guided Tour
About this experience
Join a guided tour of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and learn about its history and stagecraft.
Step inside the theatre, often called 'wooden O', as guides explain how the original building, first constructed in 1599, survived events like the plague, fire, and political challenges before being rebuilt in the 1990s.
Discover how the theatre was designed, how performances were staged in Shakespeare’s time, and what it meant to the people of London.
The tour covers over 400 years of history and gives you a clear picture of how the Globe works both then and now.
