This Christmas, North Walsham’s Black Swan Theatre comes alive with Jack and the Beanstalk; a magical, laugh-out-loud pantomime packed with festive fun, toe-tapping tunes and more giant-sized silliness than you’ve ever bean part of!
From the creative and silly mind behind previous sell-out pantomimes, expect a sparkling show full of magic, mischief and Christmas cheer. Written and directed by Joseph Ballard, this pantomime promises entertainment for the whole family.
Back by popular demand, international songstress and festive favourite Titania Trust returns to the stage, bringing her trademark sparkle and charm. She’s joined by local favourite and wonderful vocalist Paige Miller, along with the ever-entertaining Danny O’Hara and our very own landlord Joseph Ballard, who also stars. In fact, this marks the very first time Titania and Joseph will share the stage together! Dance for Fun are also back with a fabulous ensemble, guaranteed to have you cheering, booing, and clapping along in true panto spirit.
Don’t miss North Walsham’s must-see Christmas event – a giant adventure up the beanstalk with bags of laughter, heaps of magic and plenty of festive panto fun!
Doors open 30 mins before each show, advance booking recommended as our panto shows do sell out!
Group bookings welcome.
Run time: 2 hrs (including interval)
Suitable for all ages – just as family pantomime should be!
Under 3s come free if they can sit on your lap (choose an aisle seat in case of fidgets!)
Venue:
Black Swan Theatre, Black Swan Loke, North Walsham, Norfolk, NR28 9BX
