Shakespeare Birthday Globe Theatre

Shakespeare Birthday Globe Theatre

23 April is the birthday of William Shakespeare and this very special day is celebrated on London's Southbank at the Globe Theatre.

The annual celebration of the Bard's birthday coincide with the Mayor of London's St George's Day celebrations and every year there is something different to enjoy. Last year Sonneteers walked to the Globe Theatre on tours of Tudor London.

Come and join in the fun and imagine yourself back in Tudor times and wear a mask, celebrate with music, balloons, dance and workshops.

Events last year celebrated the first performance of the season - King Lear and then a special event on the Thames. A mini Elizabethan theatre was transported up the river by boat from Butler’s Wharf to the Globe with musicians entertaining everyone along the way.
