About Globe Theatre Tours 2026

Globe Theatre Tours 2026 at Shakespeare’s Globe is part of Shakespeare’s Globe Story & Tour, combining a guided visit to the Globe Theatre with a walk-through exhibition space. It introduces Shakespeare’s London through more than 400 years of history, with seasonally curated displays and interactive costumes and props.

Inside the Globe Theatre, expert Guides tell the story of the theatre’s wooden ‘O’, from the original 1599 building surviving plague, fire and political oppression to its return in the 1990s as part of one man’s radical vision. The tour also places the building in its historical context, showing how thousands of Londoners once gathered there to see the leading actors of the day.

Duration: Approximately 2 hours, including a 50 minute guided tour and self-guided time in the exhibition space.
