Bring Shakespeare’s The Tempest to life in this fun and practical workshop for children aged 5–8 and their families.

You’ll visit one of our rehearsal rooms to take part in an interactive workshop for the whole family. Using a range of activities and games designed to draw out elements of the play’s language, characters and themes, the session will bring you together with other families to discover the mystery and magic of The Tempest.

Workshops will be led by one of the Globe’s highly experienced practitioners, who include actors, teachers and directors.

This workshop does not include a visit into the Globe Theatre. Extend your experience with a peek inside our unique theatre on a Guided Tour.

These workshops are designed for children aged 5–8 and their grown ups. All under 18s must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult throughout the workshop, and we encourage everyone to take part together.
