Globe Theatre Workshop
Take a fresh approach to Shakespeare during a workshop atLondon's Globe Theatre. During Elizabethan times, the Thames-side playhouse was popular with Londoners craving a little Shakespearian diversion. Learn about the layout and social importance of the theater and develop a keener sense of Shakespeare with a variety of hands-on activities. (In cases where the workshop is not available, groups will instead enjoy a special literary walking tour ofLondon.)

Guided visit to Hampton Court
In 1514 Cardinal Wolsey built Hampton Court, a splendid Renaissance palace of grandeur unprecedented in England. It was so grand, in fact, that King Henry VIII deemed it too opulent for a cardinal and took the estate for himself. As you walk through the medieval Great Hall, listen for the voices of former residents—many people consider this Britain's most haunted house! Once outside, tackle the complicated shrubbery maze, planted in 1714.
