Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum, Jack And The Beanstalk is full of fun!
Yes, our 2024/25 pantomime is the all-time family favourite Jack And The Beanstalk.
Forced to sell his lovely pet cow for some worthless beans, join Jack as he battles to outwit the great big giant, land riches beyond his wildest dreams and win the hand of his true love.
Get ready for great jokes, bad jokes, terrible jokes and lots of laughs, music, dancing and magic beans (maybe they aren’t worthless after all!).
Will Jack climb that giant beanstalk to reach his happy ending? Will the front rows get soaked in the process? Will you get the best seats in the house by booking early?
All this – and more – will be revealed in the laugh-a-minute panto spectacular of Jack And The Beanstalk at the Gatehouse in 2024.
Tickets from just £19 . . . Oh yes they are!
