This festive season, join Jack for a journey up the beanstalk at Surrey’s ‘giant’ pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk, playing Godalming Borough Hall through 28 December 2024. Check out all new photos below!

The professional show – featuring a talented cast with top West End credits - promises spectacular song and dance, colourful costumes and lots of fun and laughs for the whole family. 

For the 6th year running, the popular Pay What You Can scheme will return to the venue’s popular panto, doing their best so to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy a family pantomime this year. The relaxed and signed performance ticket price has also been lowered by £3 this year to £15.

Charlotte Wyschna of Wysch Productions said: “We're thrilled to announce Jack and the Beanstalk, Godalming’s 2024 pantomime, a magical and laughter-filled performance that promises to delight audiences of all ages. This marks our 6th pantomime production at The Borough Hall, featuring a brilliant script by Andrew Pollard and a stellar cast, many of whom boast impressive West End credentials. If you know a family who may find it difficult to attend at full ticket price, please encourage them to reach out to us – we’re committed to doing everything we can to ensure as many people as possible can experience the magic of pantomime. We can't wait to see you 'up the beanstalk' this December!”
