DISCOVER FRIEND MEMBERSHIP
Because of Members, we are able to introduce more people to the magic of our wooden ‘O’. Supporting work both on stage and behind the scenes, the impact of Membership can be seen across all areas, from funding educational courses and access, to crafting costumes for productions and more.
Since we opened in 1997, we have never received annual government subsidies. The Globe’s foundations were built by Members, and Members continue to support us to this day. As a Member, you have the opportunity to be part of something transformative by continuing our radical theatrical experiment for generations to come.
To thank you for your support, you’ll receive unparalleled access to the Globe including:
- Priority Booking for all performances and no booking fees
- 20% discount at the Globe Shop, 10% discount at the Swan Bar & Restaurant and 20% discount on selected education events
- Access to members-only events, including our backstage Heaven to Hell tour
- Insights and news in the digital Members’ Room and regular Membership email newsletters
- Season schedules, letters from our Artistic Director and biannual editions of Globe Magazine mailed to your door
Once you’ve joined as a Friend, you’ll be able to choose from two thank you gifts that you can access wherever you are in the world.
You could share the electric atmosphere of the Globe with a loved one, as you can enjoy two groundling tickets for a show in the Globe Theatre.
Or, if you’re further afield from our wooden ‘O’, you could choose to experience the magic from home with a production from Globe Player.
