CBeebies and Lighthouse favourite Chris Jarvis is back as our loveable Dame Trott, with national treasure Miriam Margolyes making her pantomime debut as the voice of the Giant Blunderbore.

Sarah Louise Young (Sleeping Beauty 2024, Dick Whittington 2025, An Evening Without Kate Bush), will be revelling in your boos and hisses as the wicked Flesh Creep.

West End star Bernadette Bangura (Waitress UK Tour, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Moulin Rouge) returns wand in hand, to light up our stage as the radiant Fairy Sunshine. Joining her are Kieran Morris (Dick Whittington, 2025) as Jack, Robert Rees (Dick Whittington 2025, The Mousetrap) as the magical Merlin, and Sienna Sofia Glackin, making her Poole debut as Jack’s sweetheart.

Made by Lighthouse in Poole, this spectacular show is brought to you by the same team that brought the house down with last year’s national Pantomime Awards – nominated Dick Whittington, the smash-hit Sleeping Beauty (2024) and Pantomime Award-winning Aladdin (2023) and Cinderella (2022).

Promising plenty of Fee-Fi-Fo-Fun, glittering costumes, show-stopping musical numbers, sensational sets and a larger-than-life adventure for all the family, now’s the time to swap your bag of magic beans for tickets to this tallest of tales – otherwise you’ll be left at the bottom of the beanstalk!

Full Disclaimer:

• Dolly the Cow will be performed by talented actors rather than a Salt Pig Farm heifer as we don’t think they could remember the dance steps, moooove quickly or sing in tune.
• And the role of Giant Blunderbore will not be performed by a real giant as we couldn’t find one in Dorset other than in Cerne Abbas…
• Anyone with a legume allergy should be reassured that only artificial beans are used in this production.
• And yes – the 12 days of Christmas will feature the annual toilet roll throw!
• Singing along, laughter, and having a fabulous time are all fully encouraged in Poole’s fabulous family pantomime.
