The Globe Tour and the play we attended were truly inspiring experiences. We embarked on a morning guided tour with the incredible Gabi, who illuminated the rich history of The Globe for us. Afterward, we savored a delightful brunch at a nearby Borough Market before returning for the show. Today, we watched The Merry Wives of Windsor, sharing a couple of glasses of wine along the way. Make sure to reserve a seat with a cushion for added comfort. And remember, you don’t have to ‘spend a penny’ to spend a penny!

Tour guide review!! Had Tyler doing the tour guide, very informative and you could see from his speech that he loves what he was doing. He has Lots of references from plays and quite alot of stories to tell us about what happens in the plays.

Restored Shakespeare's time theater. Great performance and amazing atmosphere. We took standing tickets, they are really cheap and close to the stage. The actors sometimes interact with public near the stage. In standing area there are also places you can lean on, and these are taken fast so come early. It is prohibited to shoot during the performance and they closely monitor that you follow. Overall amazing experience!

Fantastic venue! Very intimate and a perfect step back in time to the days of Shakespeare himself. Lots of helpful staff and a lovely shop, coffee shop too. Would recommend paying for cushions as the wooden benches are very hard and obviously no backs as a bench so could be uncomfortable if you have back issues. No negatives, brilliant place to visit - you won’t be disappointed!

The Twelfth Night was beyond incredible! The Actors were amazing, they were so engaging, funny & vibrant! It was an absolute delight to see such a diverse range of cultures playing such prominent parts, it fills me with joy & hope to also see disability inclusion & pride positivity! My visit to the globe in 1998 with my school started my love affair of Shakespeare & to finall return all these years later & to watch such a wonderful rendition has renewed my love & passion! Everyone from the staff & volunteers to the actors & venue itself were phenomenal & have filled my heart with pure happiness! Thank you! I will be back soon!
