Experience The Bright Lights

An essential part of Performing Arts, Drama or Dance Studies is giving your students the chance to experience the bright lights of cities renowned for their performances, from Shakespeare at the Globe and Theatre Workshops in London’s West End to Broadway musicals in Manhattan.

As well as booking tickets for a variety of shows, we can also offer a choice of workshops personalised to your requirements, study topic and show so that your students can get the best experience possible as part of their Performing Arts trip.

Our Recommendation

Be inspired by Shakespeare

Your students can take a trip back in time to see Shakespeare performed just as it was in 1599 at Shakespeare's Globe. They can immerse themselves in Shakespeare's London with Shakespeare’s Globe Story & Tour, including a tour of the iconic theatre plus time in the exhibition space which takes you through over 400 years of Shakespeare. 

When you visit April to October you can complete the experience with a performance. You can stand or be seated to watch a world famous performance. In 2025 you can choose from:   

 

 

  • Romeo & Juliet
  • The Crucible
  • The Merry Wives of Windsor
  • Rough Magic
  • Twelfth Night or What You Will
  • Troilus & Cressida
