About the Show
A giant adventure for little ones aged 3-8 and their grown-ups.
Filled with music, dancing and plenty of opportunities to join in, this charming family show is the perfect introduction to live theatre.
When Jack sells his beloved family cow in exchange for three beans, his mother is extremely cross and throws them out of the window. But these are no ordinary beans. These are magic beans! In the morning, Jack awakes to find a huge beanstalk in his garden and soon discovers that it leads to a magical kingdom that’s full of surprises.
With golden eggs, a magic harp and one very hungry giant, join Jack on his fun-filled adventure this festive season and make lasting memories with your little ones.

How We're Keeping You safe
We’re making some adaptations to our Christmas show Jack and the Beanstalk in order to ensure the experience is safe, comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.
The production will now take place in our Auditorium, to allow for social distancing, and will run alongside our pantomime Cinderella. To accommodate both shows in the space, we’ve had to change some of the performance dates and times for Jack and the Beanstalk. All customers with an existing booking for the show will be contacted with options for their tickets.
Other measures in place inlcude:
- A reduced capacity in our auditorium and seating arrangements that ensure social distancing. Please try to book the relevant seating for your household, i.e. if there’s two of you attending, please choose an area with two seats and so on.
- No more than 6 people can be seated together. If your group is more than six people and/or from more than one household, you’ll be seated separately.
- Drinks, ice creams and snacks will be available to order via an online link once you’re at Nottingham Playhouse and will be delivered direct to your seats.
- All staff and audience members over the age of 11 will be expected to wear a face covering at all times, including for the duration of the performance, except when consuming food and drink.
