Shakespeare's Globe is staging A Midsummer Night's Dream this summer under open London skies. Tickets start at £145, but they'll sell out — open-air theatre season doesn't last forever.
The deal
A Midsummer Night's Dream at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, London. Tickets from £145. This is theatre only — you'll need to sort your own accommodation and travel to the South Bank.
Why we like it
First: it's the real Globe, the recreated thatched playhouse where Shakespeare's company actually performed. Second: open-air summer performances have proper atmosphere — you're watching under actual sky, not recirculated air. Third: £145 is reasonable for a West End-adjacent show, though premium seats will cost more.
The catch? It's genuinely exposed to weather. Bring a waterproof if rain's forecast. The groundling spots (standing-only) are cheapest but your feet will hurt after two hours.
How to book
Head to Shakespeare's Globe directly to check dates and availability. Performances tend to run May through October, but summer slots fill quickly. You can buy single tickets or season passes if you're planning multiple visits.
