This event has now passed.
Visit our What's On to see our current and upcoming events.
Christmas at the (Snow) Globe is an online film that you can watch from home.
This December, national treasure Sandi Toksvig and her merry company bring laughter, carols and the joy of Christmas from the Globe Theatre straight to your home with this very festive film premiere.
A child stands in our wooden ‘O’ waiting for the show to begin but something’s not quite right. The theatre is bare. Where are the players, the audience and stewards? Fear not – the Snow Globe gang are not going to let anything stop them from giving this child, and everyone at home the gift of theatre, especially at Christmastime!
Pull on a festive jumper, gather your loved ones as close as social distancing will allow, and watch the company restore the magic of Christmas. The film will be filled with classic Christmas songs, get ready to sing-along and join us in turning every household into a winter wonderland.
This film was made in accordance with the Government’s Coronavirus regulations and guidance at the time of filming, including testing for all cast and crew.
The Christmas tree featured in Christmas at the (Snow) Globe has been kindly donated by the Embassy of Denmark in the UK.
