Take inspiration from Shakespeare and design your own character! Shakespeare wrote about lots of different subjects, and his characters could be good, bad, serious, silly, sometimes scary. Come to the Exhibition beneath the Globe theatre and design your own star for the stage - what will they look like? What will they be wearing? What will they be saying and feeling? What stories might they tell? Are they a main character like Romeo or Juliet, or are they a smaller character but still with an important role to play?

For this event, you can visit just the Exhibition, or you can join one of our Guided Tours of the Globe itself as well. Guided Tours begin every 30 minutes from 9:30am-5pm and last 30-40 minutes. The Exhibition is open 9am-5:30pm with last entry at 5pm.
