This experience is a wonderful opportunity for Shakespeare fans to visit The Globe. The world famous theatre was built in Coliseum style between 1597 -1598 by carpenters Peter Smith and co. Sadly, a fire at the Globe Theatre broke out in June 29 1613 - it was rebuilt the following year but subsequently demolished in 1644 by the Puritan Parliament who had issued an ordinance, suppressing all stage plays two years previously. Today your experience takes you inside this piece of history, with a knowledgeable guide to talk about aspects of Shakespeare's life and works. The exhibition downstairs is also included so you can have a look before you take afternoon tea in the brasserie - a great way to round off your time.
