  • Year opened: 1997

The home of William Shakespeare! Shakespeare's Globe is a perfectly reconstructed build of the 1599 Globe Theatre; a place which saw the great Shakespeare write his masterpieces.

The original was built in 1599 but burned down in 1613, the Globe was rebuilt a year later but was then demolished in 1644. The Globe we see today is an approximation based on evidence of the original building. The only difference being today's Globe can only hold 1,400 spectators whereas the original theatre welcomed 3,000 - this is due to safety standards.
