Leas Cliff Hall Folkestone panto Jack and the Beanstalk set for record year

Fee Fi Fo Fum bellows from the Leas Cliff Hall as panto season continues in Folkestone.

The biggest panto in town hit the stage last week with the start of Jack and the Beanstalk and the pantomime is already playing to packed audiences.

This year’s show by CT Productions, which is putting on its 10th annual panto performance, runs until Saturday, January 7.

It is for the whole family to enjoy, and is suitable for children of all ages, with the usual mixture of witty local references, jokes and the hilarious Pantomime Dame, played by Paul Ketley.

An incredible inflatable and illuminated beanstalk will be the spectacular finale of the first act as it sprouts from the stage.

Families experience a magical time as they join Jack (Callum Erskine) on his trip to Cloudland, where he encounters the fearsome Giant Blunderbore.

Director Bob Osborne says audience numbers are up on last year and it is expected to be a record year.

Tickets start at £10 with family tickets (two adults and two children) priced from £45. Go to atgtickets.com or call 08448 713015 or 01303 228600.
