PATRON MEMBERSHIP.

Our Patrons play a vital role in the work we do

Support our behind the scenes work at Shakespeare’s Globe by becoming one of our Patrons. From advanced priority booking benefits and exclusive events, the four levels of Patron Membership allow you to play a very special role in what we do.

By offering a greater level of support, as a Scribe’s, Illustrator’s, Printer’s or First Folio Circle Patron, you won’t just receive exceptional benefits but will play an integral part in funding projects and productions, allowing us to continue our vital education and community work.

Our Patron Membership levels reflect the craftsmanship behind Shakespeare’s First Folio, arguably one of the most important pieces of literature in the English Language.

From the diligent scribes who first put pen to paper, up to the final, acclaimed First Folio itself, browse the four levels below, join online, and become an important part of the Shakespeare’s Globe journey.
