Pride Guided Tour

Step inside London’s iconic wooden ‘O’ for a Pride Guided Tour of the open-air Globe Theatre, bringing to life the queer stories and characters from Shakespeare’s life and plays.

What would life have been like for the queer communities during Shakespeare’s time? And how might they have influenced the theatre?

From rebellious queer icons to the secrets of nobility, including the intimate letters between King James I and his ‘favourite’, the Duke of Buckingham, take a deep dive into an eye-opening era in LGBTQ+ history.

Discover vivid records of diverse sexualities and gender identities in the writing of the time, including Shakespeare’s own Sonnets, and explore the queer relationships between characters in some of his most famous plays.

This unique tour is packed with fascinating people, both real and fictional, and their unexpected stories.
