Atkinson announce Jack & the Beanstalk Christmas panto

3rd August 2023

The Atkinson will host a production of Jack & the Beanstalk for its flagship Christmas pantomime.

Working alongside KD Theatre Productions Ltd, the busy arts centre continues its Christmas tradition of staging a festive production throughout December.

Families will be pleased so see a variety of matinee and evening performances at The Atkinson, with early-bird tickets on sale until the end of August 2023. The venue also provides a range of accessible seating that can be booked directly from the Box Office, as well as staging relaxed performances that ensure everyone feels welcome and comfortable when visiting the theatre.

2023 marks ten years since The Atkinson re-opened as a combined arts centre following a multi-million pound refurbishment. The Jack and the Beanstalk Christmas panto is the final date in their 2023 calendar and follows a landmark programme of music, theatre, comedy, exhibitions and community events.

Daniel Bell, Managing Director / Producer at KD Theatre Productions Ltd said “We are excited to bring our Christmas pantomime ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ to The Atkinson following the success of our summer panto ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’. Families in Southport can expect a spectacular pantomime with plenty of festive flair and audience participation. It’s going to be magical!”

Marie Kenny, Programme Manager at The Atkinson said: “The Atkinson have an excellent relationship with KD Theatre Productions Ltd, and I am continually impressed by their ability to captivate audiences of all ages. Families are at the heart of The Atkinson and staging a Christmas pantomime allows us to engage with the local community across Sefton at the most wonderful time of the year.
