Bring the chaos inside the Forest of Arden to life with our fun and practical Family Workshop exploring Shakespeare’s As You Like It. Perfect for children aged 5–8 and their grown-ups.

Using a range of activities and games designed to draw out elements of the play’s language, characters and themes, the session will visit one of our rehearsal rooms and bring you together with other families to discover this enchanting and chaotic tale.

Workshops will be led by one of the Globe’s highly experienced practitioners, who include actors, teachers and directors.

This workshop does not include a visit into the Globe Theatre. Extend your experience with a separate peek inside our unique theatre on a  Globe Theatre Guided Tour.

These workshops are designed for children aged 5-8 and their grown-ups. All under 18s must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult throughout the workshop, and we encourage everyone to take part together.

Four people are aboard a giant paper boat against a bright blue, cloudy sky and a sea of dark blue material. Two are standing; one in Shakespearean dress holding a paper skull, another in a purple fairy costume holding a paper mast. The other two are crouched, with one wearing a paper hat, pointing out to sea, and another looking through a paper telescope, scratching their chin.
