Jack and The Beanstalk at The Stoller Hall, Manchester 12 December 2021 Tickets from £8.00 — Book now

The classic fairytale, Jack and The Beanstalk gets a makeover at The Stoller Hall this festive period. From children’s theatre company Lyngo, you can expect lots of surprises, a gripping story and beautiful images as Jack sells his cow for five magic beans and finds himself in the land above the clouds. It’s a show for the over 3’s (and their giants) with something for everyone – enormous shoes, tiny houses, showers of silver and gold and a big, leafy explosion!

You can watch the show at 11am or 2pm on 12 December, and the running time is 50 minutes.
