Over 430 young stars from 44 schools and community groups enjoyed a dazzling Christmas adventure—all for free! Parents and guardians also enjoyed reduced ticket prices, making it a holiday treat for everyone.
From BSL-signed performances to relaxed shows with adjusted lights and sound for children and young people with SEND, every performance was a magical experience. Families from Erdington to Selly Oak and beyond travelled far and wide to join the festive fun!
But the magic didn’t stop there! Every young attendee received a bag of ‘magic beans’ to plant, sparking joy and excitement. One HAF club even plans to grow their beans together, turning it into a magical group project on their allotment
Our partnership with Sutton Town Hall Community Trust made dreams come true. Families who never thought they’d experience a Panto were thrilled! It wasn’t just about entertainment—it was about creating lasting memories and bringing communities closer together.
The fun didn’t end with Jack and the Beanstalk, young people also enjoyed thrilling theatre workshops, pop-up cinema nights, behind-the-scenes tours, and youth theatre productions.
