Shakespeare’s Globe is without fail one of the cultural highlights of summer in London. It’s a rare chance to experience Shakespearean performances out in the open, as they were intended to be seen.
What to expect
The raucous audience atmosphere of olden days is encouraged, particularly at The Midnight Matinees, making for a night of truly immersive theatre. This season includes some of Shakespeare’s most iconic works, including A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Twelfth Night and of course Romeo and Juliet. Bonus events include Shakespeare Walks, live Ask-An-Actor sessions, study days, live cinema broadcasts and more. There are plenty of half-term family events too.
Tickets for Summer Season at the Globe
Tickets range from £5.00 for yard tickets, up to £59.00 for the best seats in the lower, middle, and upper galleries. Typically, over 700 tickets are available at the lowest price for all the performances, but there may be some restrictions on this due to COVID-19. If you find yourself in the yard, be ready to get wet if it rains!
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, many events have been canceled. Always check official sites before heading to an event.Get all the info on what's on in London direct to your inbox.
