When a heinous henchman kidnaps a cow and a princess from the downtrodden town of Boggy Bottom, young Jack finds himself on an adventure that he thought only existed in story books!

Expect a wholesome hero, a punch-packing princess, a feisty fairy, a silly sibling, a witty widow, a slippery servant, a kind-hearted king... and a cow with some beef. Oh... and a very large magical plant, of course!

Join us for a fee-fi-fo-fabulously reimagined romp through a classic tale you thought you knew… with amazing 3D effects!

Relaxed Performance: Thu 2 Jan at 5pm
