Jack Trott and his mum are so very poor! One day, Jack’s mum decides enough is enough and sends Jack to the market to sell his best friend – Daisy the cow. Jack sells Daisy for some beans, but not just any old beans – MAGIC beans. The next day Jack and his mum find that the beans have grown into a huge beanstalk, reaching all the way up to the sky.

The children will join Jack on his big adventure, as he climbs the beanstalk up to a scary giant’s house where there are many magical treasures, including a hen that lays eggs of solid gold. But when Jack tries to steal these treasures, the scary giant spots him. Will Jack be able to outwit the giant and climb back down to home? Find out in our Pint-Sized Panto! The children will enjoy silly jokes, lots of interaction and a very messy slapstick scene.
