Bring Shakespeare’s moody tragedy Hamlet to life in this fun and practical Family Workshop. 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.

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

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

 This workshop is 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.
