What Is The Story

A true classic of the panto repertoire, Jack and the Beanstalk is the story of young buck Jack, who heads to market to sell his hard-up family's last cow. But instead of coming up with some decent cash, the silly boy comes back with a handful of 'magic beans' much to his mother's chagrin.

Throwing them on the floor, she sends Jack to bed without any dinner. But during the night a massive beanstalk grows from the beans, leading to a huge castle. Jack sees his opportunity and climbs up finding a fearsome Giant's home! Seeing his chance, he decides to lift a few items, including a magic harp and a goose that lays golden eggs. But the Giant isn't going to let this home invasion slide, leading to a massive adventure for Jack, his mother and the whole village

Join Jack, Dame Trott, and the lovable Clarabelle the Cow on a thrilling quest packed with magic beans, a towering castle in the clouds, and a grumpy, not-so-friendly Giant. It's sure to be the talk of the town, and you won't want to miss a single moment of this dazzling production! You'll be kicking yourself if you miss out on this moo-velous adventure!

Jack and the Beanstalk

What a brilliant pantomime (and I've been to a few in my time!). It was obvious that all the cast were having great fun and that rubbed off on the audience. Hilarious routines and great special effects. Will Young was wonderfully camp and entered into the mayhem with gusto. Three generations of our family all loved it. Best panto. ... Read more

I feel good!

Written by my 6 year old daughter after seeing it on 27 Dec 2025: “It was the best pantomime I’ve ever seen and I feel good! I loved how the characters made it look so magical and like a story. I loved the characters and the backgrounds they performed in. I adored the songs and the dancing. I liked how the animals moved.” Our 6 and 4 year old both loved it. ... Read more
