About Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
The Globe is a truly unique venue situated on London's cultural Bankside. It features some marvellous spaces for exclusive private events. Whether for meetings, receptions, launches or presentations, the rooms are particularly striking areas for private hire, because they directly reflect the character and purpose of the Globe itself

review of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
A bit Madame-Tussaud’s/Shakespeare-for-the- Americans, the standard has improved since Mark Rylance grabbed the reins. Paying but a fiver to stand on the very dusty floor where all the classics premiered is an unforgettable London moment.

fun night out
the theater was a great reconstruction. Talented actors, and great night out. I would recommend getting the standing tickets. You feel like you are pat of the show and they are cheap.

Loved it, loved it, loved it!
Bought our 'peasant class' groundling tickets to 'The Merry Wives of Windsor' based on so many of the reviews on TripAdvisor, and we were not disappointed. My daughter had her doubts, after having slogged through so much Shakespeare in school, that this play would be funny and entertaining, but she was a convert after the first scene.
We didn't get in early enough to stand against the front stage, but were able to lean back against the middle walkway, and at one point were literally rubbing elbows with the performers. This was one of the best things we did in London, and a bargain at 5pounds per.
After the show, hungry and seeking a place to sit, we stumbled into TAS Pide across the street, and were pleasantly surprised by our first brush with Turkish food.
All in all, a very good day.

Great experience
Seeing Merry Wives of Windsor here was a treat! Strongly recommended! We sat in the first level, and we could see just fine.
We also took the tour beforehand. The exhibits were good, and the tour (which takes you inside the theatre) was very good. You can get 20% off the price, if you show them the "London Smartsave Streetmap" brochure, which you should be able to get from your hotel.

Great show, beware the Bar
Not being familiar with The Merry Wives of Windsor and wary of the complexioties of the synopsis, the superb acting and production brought it all to life. A great experience; hugely enjoyable.
However a whisky at the bar afterwards soured the experience being charged L6.50. They don't make it obvious that they serve only large measures. I could imagine many tourists feeling they were being ripped off!

Once in a lifetime experience
While the Shakespeare plays do sell out in advance, there is opportunity to queue up for returned tickets or standing room an hour before the show. While standing for three and a half hours can be a tad uncomfortable, the ability to lean on the front of the stage in Shakespeare’s Globe (for just L5) and watch something amazing like “Midsummer’s Night’s Dream” is absolutely a dream come true. The surroundings are thoroughly authentic and I can assure you this is an experience you won’t soon forget. If you are standing be aware that you are in the open and will get wet if it rains!
