A Tour of Shakespeare&8217;s Globe & Afternoon Tea for Two This experience day is a wonderful opportunity for Shakespeare fans to visit The Globe. The world-famous theatre was built in Coliseum style between 1597 -1598 by carpenters Peter Smith & co. Sadly, a fire at the Globe Theatre broke out on June 29, 1613
- it was rebuilt the following year but subsequently demolished in 1644 by the Puritan Parliament who had issued an ordinance, suppressing all stage plays two years previously. The experience today takes visitors inside this piece of history, with a knowledgeable guide to talk about aspects of Shakespeare&8217;s life & works. The exhibition downstairs is also included so visitors can have a look before ending the day with afternoon tea in the brasserie. Availability Runs on selected Mondays to Saturdays throughout the year. Participant Guidelines All ages are welcome, but children must be accompanied by a participating adult aged 18 or over.
