Ghosts & Ghouls Family Tour

Join us for a Ghosts & Ghouls Family Tour, a special family-friendly spooky guided tour of the Globe Theatre which brings to life the ghosts, spirits and scary happenings of Shakespeare’s most chilling plays.

From the Three Witches’ spells in Macbeth, to the appearance of Hamlet’s father’s ghost, you’ll learn about Shakespeare’s love for all things supernatural as well as hearing the grisly details of medical practices in his time; folktales of London’s mysterious creatures like the Thames River Monster; and fascinating traditional ways to protect yourself against evil spirits.

Tickets include entry to our exhibition, where visitors can discover the history and magic behind Shakespeare’s Globe.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble

– Macbeth, Act IV, scene 1
