🌱🎭 FEE, FI, FO, FUM … PANTO TICKETS ARE ON SALE - GET YOURS BEFORE THEY’RE GONE! 🎭🌱

Oh yes they are! 😉

Get ready for a GIANT-sized adventure as Saffron Players bring you the magical tale of Jack and the Beanstalk! 🌱

Join Jack on his quest to save Daisy from the wicked villains lurking up the beanstalk. Expect plenty of laughs, lots of mischief, toe-tapping tunes and panto magic galore! And, of course, our youngest audience members will get the chance to join some of the cast on stage for a song and dance. So, warm up those vocal cords … we’ll need your help!

Will Jack save the day? Will Daisy escape the baddies? And will the audience shout “HE’S BEHIND YOU!” loud enough to be heard all the way up the beanstalk? There’s only one way to find out! 👀

📅 15th–23rd January 2027
📍 Saffron Walden Town Hall

🎟️ BOOK YOUR TICKETS NOW!

Don’t be a panto-mime…miss out! 😉 Gather your family, grab your tickets and join us for a GIANT-sized dose of fun!

OH YES YOU WILL! 💚🌱🎭

It really does mean a lot to be nominated for the Best Pantomime in the NODA East Region District 7 for our 2025 production of Robin Hood.
