Our GIANT pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk starring stage, screen and pantomime legend, the one-and-only Christopher Biggins has now sold over 20,000 tickets! He will be joined by Kiera-Nicole (Milkshake!) and comedian Rikki Jay (The Big Big Talent Show).

Jack and the Beanstalk will be a fun-filled Christmas extravaganza telling the fairy tale of a poor local lad who goes on a fantastic adventure up a beanstalk where fortune lies. This year’s production will be the perfect festive panto with a fabulous cast and orchestra, laugh-out-loud comedy, stunning scenery and of course, plenty of audience participation.

It’s the perfect time to celebrate this milestone as Dartford’s Christmas Light Switch On returns this year on Saturday 20th November. In attendance will be Fat Friends – The Musical and West End star Lee Mead and Kiera-Nicole, star of Milkshake! and this year’s pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk.

Jack and the Beanstalk runs from Sat 11 Dec – Sun 2 Jan.
