To celebrate Shakespeare Day join one of our knowledgeable Cathedral Guides to learn about the links between our church and the theatre.

At the heart of William Shakespeare’s theatrical world was the church of St Saviours, now known as Southwark Cathedral. This was the scene of baptisms, burials and marriages for the actors and playwrights who graced the stage of Elizabethan and Stuart theatre. Discover the links between our church and the theatre.

About our Guides

Our Cathedral Guides undertake extensive training to learn over 900 years of Cathedral history and volunteer their time to deliver tour and walks for the Cathedral. Many of them also work as City of London Guides and Greenwich Guides and are very knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects.
