Jack and the Beanstalk

This Christmas, something GIANT is coming to Jersey Opera House.

For the very first time, we are staging a fully professional pantomime — and we’re going all out with the ultimate festive adventure, Jack and the Beanstalk.

Join Jack on a magical journey up the beanstalk and beyond, where adventure awaits in the clouds and anything can happen. Expect big laughs, spectacular staging, dazzling costumes, toe-tapping music and all the classic pantomime fun audiences of all ages know and love.

Co-produced with the award-winning Evolution Productions — five-time winners at the UK Pantomime Awards — this brand-new production promises high-energy entertainment, unforgettable characters and plenty of festive magic.

Whether it’s your first pantomime or a much-loved family tradition, Jack and the Beanstalk is the perfect way to celebrate the season together.

Performance Information

Running from Friday 18 December 2026 to Sunday 3 January 2027

BSL and Audio Described performance dates will be announced shortly.

Ticket prices may be subject to change based on demand and availability. Relaxed Performance: Sunday 3 January This performance is designed to create a more relaxed and supportive environment for those who may benefit from a less formal theatre experience, including neuro-divergent audiences, those with sensory sensitivities, learning disabilities, or anyone who would feel more comfortable in a more flexible setting. Adjustments will include softer lighting and sound levels, an open-door policy allowing audience members to move in and out of the auditorium, and a relaxed attitude to noise and movement within the space.

It's never too early to book, and this GIANT of a pantomime is one not to miss!
