It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and we have so many festive ideas for all the family over at our (snow) Globe (as we like to call it!). Whether you’re searching for stocking fillers in the form of Shakespeare socks, or wanting to bring the whole family down for our Christmas show, The Fir Tree, you’ll be sure to find something to do here at the Globe this season.

Feast on Christmas delights at Swan Restaurant

Immerse yourself in the Christmas spirit with the aroma of cinnamon and freshly baked mince pies in our Swan Restaurant.

Join our friends at Swan for their Festive Afternoon Tea, adorned with gingerbread swans, and savoury classics such as pigs in blanket navettes. Served in the stunning Restaurant alongside the riverside, against a backdrop of the London skyline, this festive tea is available until 30 December 2021.

Or, if  Afternoon Tea doesn’t take your fancy, why not venture to the Bar for some after-work festive drinks? From mulled wine to Chateau Biac, the Swan has a range of Christmas tipples to suit every tastebud.

Join us for our festive fairy tale, The Fir Tree

This year’s Christmas show, The Fir Tree, is a magical reimagination of  Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tale, and guarantees a fantastic time for the whole family. Make sure to wrap up warm with woolly hats and mittens, as our production will be in our beautiful open-air Globe!

Hannah Khalil’s new re-telling shows us how we can all help to take care of our planet. In preparation, why not help us populate the forest by building your very own eco-friendly sparrow puppet with materials you have lying around the house? You can also make a range of eco-friendly decorations to adorn your Christmas tree at home.

Travel back in time to Elizabethan London on a Guided Tour

The only thing better than a Globe Theatre Guided Tour is a Globe Theatre Guided Tour with the glow of the Christmas lights from our tree! Discover the world of an Elizabethan theatre, find out how much you would’ve had to pay to see a show and, of course, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of our beautiful wintry wooden ‘O’.

Snuggle up for movie-night with Globe Player

In this frosty weather, what could be better than curling up on the sofa with a mug of hot chocolate to watch a show from our brand new and improved streaming service, Globe Player?

Featuring our most loved productions, subscriptions for Globe Player are just £59.99 per year, or £9.99 for one show. We’ll be adding more to the platform over the next few months, so keep an eye out and watch this space. You can also treat a loved one to a Gift Subscription, the perfect Christmas present!

Treat thyself to goodies in our Shop

If you have a loved one that is a self-confessed Shakespeare fanatic, you’re not going to get much better than our dedicated theatre Shop.

We’ve got decorations for the tree, eco-friendly tote bags, and books of Shakespearian insults for good measure. It’s the Shakespeare’s fan’s wildest dream. Come down and visit us in person from Thursday – Sunday, 10.00am–5.00pm, or order your goodies online. Treat thyself!
