Jack and the Beanstalk (Relaxed Performance) at Lighthouse, Poole's Centre for the Arts

Jack and the Beanstalk (Relaxed Performance) at Lighthouse, Poole's Centre for the Arts logo

It is time to take flight beyond the clouds for Poole's soaring family pantomime adventure, Jack and the Beanstalk.

This performance is perfect for anyone who might find the usual theatre environment a little overwhelming including people with sensory, communication and learning sensitivities, or anyone who would feel more at ease in a less formal theatre environment.

You can expect the same West End quality production – with a few thoughtful adjustments to ensure everyone can enjoy the magic.

During the performance our auditorium lights will remain at 50%, so you are welcome to move around, make noise, or come and go as needed.

We will begin with a friendly introduction explaining any special effects. Plus, we can provide access information with a social story ahead of your visit, so that everyone feels prepared.

Join us and enjoy all the joy, laughter and sparkle of our traditional family pantomime — in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

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.
