Globe ExhibitionThe Globe Theatre, founded by Sam Wanamaker, is a faithful reconstruction of Shakespeare’s Elizabethan playhouse. The Globe Exhibition explores the remarkable story of the theatre, and brings Shakespeare’s world to life using a range of interactive displays, live demonstrations, and a handheld audioguide. Visitors can discover how shows were produced in the playhouses of Shakespeare’s time, from writing and rehearsals to music, dance and performance. Globe Theatre TourA visit to the exhibition includes a 30-minute guided tour of the Globe Theatre. Our expert guide-storytellers provide fascinating tours of the auditorium, vividly recreating colourful stories of the 1599 Globe playhouse, the reconstruction process in the 1990s and how the ‘wooden O’ works today as an imaginative and experimental space for performance.

The Golden HindeThe Golden Hinde is a full-working reconstruction of the Tudor warship in which Sir Francis Drake circumnavigated the world between 1577 and 1580. Having circumnavigated the globe and sailed over 140,000 miles – many more than the original – she is now berthed in St Mary Overie Dock, a short walk from Shakespeare’s Globe.

Costumed educators bring The Golden Hinde and its history to life with tales of Drake’s voyage around the world, and life on board the ship for officers and ordinary sailors. You will walk amongst the cannons, the anchors and also see Drake’s sleeping quarters. The Golden Hinde is visited by thousands of visitors each year, with equal appeal to those interested in Tudor life at sea, and Sir Francis Drake.
