Shakespeare's Way Section 11: Hammersmith to The Globe Theatre!

Length: 11 miles / 17.7 km
Difficulty: Moderate
Walk leader: Beth (07956242703)

***IMPORTANT INFO FOR SATURDAY***

1. We will be setting off at 9.30 am sharp, no waiting time I'm afraid as we need to be at The Globe for (ideally) 1pm. We also won't stop for lunch until we get there. If you miss us, not to worry, text Beth on 07956242703 and she will give you instructions where to meet us en-route, you might just miss a mile or two.
2. We will meet from 9.15 at the Beadon Road exit of Hammersmith tube station, opposite The William Morris Pub and next to Bills restaurant. Link to exact location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/FvqWS3CdYmsybXbb6
3. Please see bag size policy below for access to the theatre. If we have time we will be able to stash bigger bags but we'll need to arrive by 1 to have time to do that really, so its much less stressful for me if you can keep your bag to a smaller size!

4. I have 2 spaces left on the meal for Saturday evening (Vapiano at 6.15pm) and 2 £5 standing tickets for the Globe performance at 2pm, drop me a message or comment below if you'd like one.

********

Following the success of walking The Ridgeway in 2023, the Chiltern Young Walkers have set themselves a new challenge of walking Shakespeare's Way in 2024!

A 146 mile route that winds its way through the Cotswolds, the Chiltern hills and along the Thames between Shakespeare's Historic Birthplace and The Globe Theatre in London. Its a beautiful fully signposted route that goes through towns such as Chipping Norton, Woodstock and Marlow as well as the beautiful city of Oxford and of course a long section along the River Thames in London. We're kicking the challenge off with a double bill, which you can do either part of as a day trip or stay for an little weekend away!

We're nearly done! Join us as we smash out the last 11 ish miles of this 146 route by meandering along the River Thames between Hammersmith and The Globe Theatre.

We're going to start this walk quite early because we have a master plan - to celebrate finishing The Shakespeare's Way by actually going to see a play at The Globe Theatre! Therefore we're getting this out early to give people a chance to get tickets to the 2pm showing to The Comedy of Errors before they sell out (tickets are £5/10 for standing, or £25 - 80 for sitting).

Please grab yourself a ticket if you'd like to come. Afterwards, we'll go for drinks and dinner, though you're very welcome to just come for the walk or any part afterwards.

Link to book tickets is here - grab your seats asap if you'd like to come, as the cheaper seats will sell out soon.

We'll meet at Hammersmith station and will head off towards the river - we won't stop for lunch until we reach The Globe.
