RESEARCH EVENTS

Join us this year to celebrate 30 years of ground-breaking research at Shakespeare’s Globe as we continue to offer cutting-edge insights, thought-provoking new perspectives, and a variety of ways for you to be involved in continuing our legacy. 

Delve deeper into Shakespeare’s world and works with our year-round programme of Research Events. Complement your experience of seeing a production in the Globe Theatre with a show-themed Study Day, or enjoy one of our Research in Action workshops, exploring everything from up-to-the-minute editing discoveries to how early modern playwrights engaged with global cultures. Our next Shakespeare and Race Festival will return in 2026.
