The story of a boy, a cow, magic beans and a fearsome giant gets the Wakefield treatment that you’ve come to know and love. A brand new script, glittering sets, less than glamorous baddies and a Dame that’s unmatched, there’s no wonder that Wakefield’s very own pantomime never disappoints!

Certain performances have been adapted to suit people with hearing difficulties or who are on the Autistic Spectrum, have learning difficulties, or with Sensory or Communication disorders. Performances of this kind may also be suitable for some families with young children or which include audience members that may need to move around during a performance. Please contact the Theatre for details of those shows.

Theatre Royal Wakefield were awarded Charity of the Year at the Wakefield BID Awards and also ‘Wakefield Member of the Year’ at the MY Chamber Awards!

Their nominations considered all aspects of the work they deliver, including inclusion, creativity, and community empowerment. They deliver high-quality productions that entertain and inspire, although the impact reaches far beyond the stage. As a registered charity, they are committed to making the arts accessible to all. Their work supports learning-disabled young people, empowering students, and opens doors for marginalised groups including asylum seekers, refugees, and young carers.

The Theatre Royal lies on the corner of Westgate and Drury Lane. It was designed in 1894 as the Wakefield Opera House, by renown Theatre Architect Frank Matcham, and was built at a price of £13,000.

There are two performances today of Jack & The Beanstalk, at 1.30pm and 7pm
