Following the success of our previous pantomimes, including Snow White, Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty, we're back in 2026 with Jack and the Beanstalk!
This year’s production adds an exciting new energy to the classic tale. Jack, the daughter of Dame Trott and sister to the ever-lovable Simon Trott, takes centre stage when the family faces hard times. It’s up to her to take a chance on a handful of mysterious beans… and discover a world high above the clouds where danger, dazzling surprises and a very grumpy giant await.
With stunning costumes, toe-tapping musical numbers, plenty of audience participation and a heartwarming story about bravery, family and believing in yourself, Jack and the Beanstalk promises to be the perfect festive treat for the whole family.
Will Jack outwit the giant?
Will Dame Trott keep the family together?
Will Simon Trott stay out of trouble for five minutes?
And what words of wisdom will King Crumble have for the kingdom?
There’s only one way to find out… book now and join us for a beanstalk-full of festive fun!
