Far far away, in a small cottage named Chequers, Jack Beanstalk and his mum live a humble life where money is tight. To make ends meet, Jack sells his beloved cow Daisy in Bridgetown in exchange for five ‘magic’ beans from the renowned Evil Bean Merchant. His mother is devastated at the trade-off, but knows all about mistakes, having bean there done that. But fear not! Jack is distracted from this woe after meeting the love of his life, Jill, who will follow him to the ends of the earth…

… and indeed up a beanstalk. Join Jack and Jill as they navigate the high-altitude world of an insecure Giant, Claudia Winkleman, a golden goose and Guinness the Harp and follow them around the long winding corridors of Castle Mound. Wait why is the Evil Bean Merchant here, again?

Come and watch this year’s unmissable festive delight featuring love, adventure and... beans: the CUADC/Footlights Pantomime 2025: Jack and the Beanstalk!
